Clock that never hits zero?

I'm referring to that latest ad on the chess.com home page. What's this thing about a clock that never hits zero? I clicked on the ad, and found only a few fancy-looking chess clocks for sale. They look like pretty ordinary clocks to me.

Can somebody enlighten me about this? Am I missing out on some groundbreaking chess clock technology? Or did I just get trolled by the latest cute chess.com marketing gimmick?

yeah, its just an ordinary clock. However, the numbers on the clock are replaced with chess pieces, in which the values of the pieces add up to the respective value. (pawn symbol = 1, knight + bishop symbol = 6).

Ah, so it literally never hits zero. How (not) cute.
