Welcome To The Vomit Clock Museum
The Vomit Clock Museum is a digital museum cataloging the history of object-embedded resin clocks, colloquially known as “vomit clocks.” These acrylic resin clocks, typically produced in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, provoke intrigue and curiosity from those who behold them. Some revile them, some love them – either way, these clocks are a time capsule into the style and home decor of decades past—an interesting and vibrant slice of mid-century Americana.
