Knolling Tear Down - What Makes A Digital Clock Tick?

For our knolling tear down we explored a faux wood effect digital alarm clock that could sense temperature and vibrations.

Some of the things that we found interesting were:

     A. That the vibrational sensor essentially works the same as the speaker just applied differently.

     B. The way the temperature sensor had to be placed away from the circuit board to avoid heat contamination.

     C. Figuring out the the "wood effect" was just a thin, see-through sticker stuck on to the faces the clock.

     D. That the clock kept time by measuring the vibrations of a quartz crystal encased in a metal canister.
