Space-age spherical drum-roll-clock

I just came across this (appearantly the clock is Sankyo) beautifully shaped clock.....

It is for sale, but too steep for me (fixed price is 125 euros). Should anyone be interested, I can redirect you to the sales-add.

Is this a one off or has anyone seen this before?

Someone seems to have re-attached the power cable through another hole at some point in time also...

It is very cool indeed! Would be great to perform such a build with a true flip clock!
