Sfera mechanical scales

Scales may not be the sexiest piece of kitchen equipment on the market (that accolade is reserved for the ice cream maker in my book!) but Sfera have come up with a set of mechanical scales (£32) that look pretty as well as functional. I'm quite a sci-fi buff so I like the idea of a little red pod sitting on the side, if nothing else so that I can push the top of it and make a whooshing noise, pretending that I'm opening a portal to another dimension...!
