EDIT* Oh and by the way, the wood in the prototype is the same as what will be used in $160 LED Ramos, it just has a darker stain. I'm glad you like it :)
i think you're missing one important point : ramos alarm clock doesn't/can't solve the wake-up problem ( people just have to go to the bed early and have a purpose to wake up early ) and just another alarm clock screaming at 6 o'clock in the morning isn't "sexy".
If one would buy it, it would be because the nixie tube and remote control. It looks retro (=good ) but you can remote control it and it wakes you up by the "super hipster nerd" way ! I think you should remove LCD model or if you insist to keep it , give it a modern look ( aluminium case etc ).
The problem with the alarm clock is that people traditionally put the clock on a night stand or somewhere easily accessible from the bed. At that point, if you can hit snooze from the bed, you most likely will doze off. Most of the time, even if you went to sleep early, there will be some internal resistance to actually leaving the bed (it's warm :)
If you put the alarm far away, then you are forced to get up, and by that point you've already fought most of the resistance to actually getting up. Problem there is that the visual clock is too far away from the bed.
The real problem that this solves is decoupling the physical clock presence from the alarm silence mechanism, forcing you to physically leave the bed. Even if you get up early, you still have to overcome the desire to leave the bed.
I'm not your customer here, I'm pointing out that your marketing is broken. Any amount of explanations in the comments on HN is not going to change the fact that your video leaves the viewer with the wrong impression.
Please know that I'm not saying you're trying to scam people. I'm saying that they will see the video and then feel scammed. You have perfectly noble intentions but as the video is laid out you fail to communicate them.
EDIT, just want this to be perfectly clear: You seem to be an awesome person, you have an awesome product, it is awesome that you use Kickstarter. BUT your video is a turn off. And it is a shame because of all the awesomeness people will miss who only see the video and then hit the back button at the exact moment in the video when you say "Well, I've already started working on a much more affordable production model". You introduce your main product with the absolutely non-sexy word "affordable", after having shown a much more awesome version for a full minute and a half.
