This comes from the UK retailer Bicycle Playing Card Supplies.  The deck is based on timepieces both big and small, with a decidedly Victorian style overall.  I like the back - it looks like the insides of a watch.  It's being released by Russ Stevens of RSVP Magic and appears to be a USPC deck - at the least, they used a USPC tuck box template.

Meh, I'll pass. I can see the work that went into the court cards but I don't like the overall look and don't understand why the clocks are there.

I think I'll pass on these too. The court cards have nice artwork but it's not my style and I don't really like the back design.

I'll pass on this I think. Although the back design is kinda nice. :P
But I don't like the court cards so much. but maybe there will be some changes to this deck. It is already printed? or going to be Printed?

It's the deck's THEME - y'know, TIMELESS...

It seems to evoke a somewhat steampunk feel to it, while not actually being all that steampunk.  I could picture this as a deck used by a character in a steampunk novel or movie...

Considering that it's due out in roughly two weeks, I'd say the designs are pretty much set in stone by now, or at least set in printing plates...  My subject even says "due out in mid-June."

They're magician-made, so there's a good chance there will be reveals and maybe a one-way mark, or perhaps even suit-&-value marks on the backs.

For those of you who didn't like the court cards, what about them did you not like?

I like them,depending on the price (below 7USD) i might get myself a brick.
They are made for magicians.
Russ Stevens is well known in the magic business and i gurantee you guys : This guy puts out quality products which do not dissapoint.
So i doubt that this deck will dissapoint.

Taking the 12 court cards and give each card a different time would have been great,but from the sneak peek pictures we can see
that the jacks do have the same time on the clock.Well we don´t know what they have hidden in the design or what purpose the clocks will have for tricks.

I´m also curious about the included gaffed cards. hopefully a blank face & double backer card. ;)
Deep inside my thoughts i was hoping for a animated back design where the arms of the clock rotate....that would be a great design/deck for a back in time triumph themed routine.  8)

 
Currently waiting for those decks being released :
- Seasons [Primavera / Seronda]  / Aether [Vortex] / Bicycle [Actuators] / Mana [Oracle] / The Blue Crown - [Altruism] / Encarded [Tendril]

You're pretty much on the money re what you wanted in this deck.  Alakazam Magic in the UK has them for UKP7.99.  This is their description.


Welcome to the Timeless Deck from RSVP.
 
Created by USPCC on Air Cushion Finish Bicycle Stock, these cards are truly stunning in every way and fantastic to handle and use.
 
Timeless is a fully customized deck based around the workings of clock mechanisms.
 
Built into this very special deck are the following unique features:
 
Each custom designed court card depicts a different hour of the day and these have been printed in 'Chased' order allowing for some superb effects that are unique only to this deck. Ideas are limited only by your imagination.
 
Includes one custom designed Joker, a duplicate King of Diamonds with a different time feature that allows for the effect of moving a time to the predicted one, a duplicate Jack of Spades with a broken clock face and one double backer.
 
These cards are available in limited numbers.
