Obviously bored with using his watch solely for the purpose of keeping time, this young chap decides to study what effects if any would result from placing his watch in the microwave.  Judging from the state of said microwave, it looks like the watch isn’t the first thing he’s tried to cook.  Needless to say, this isn’t something you should try at home… Read the rest of this entry »

1, Binary Watch

There are 10 types of people in this world:  those who understand binary and those who don’t.  If you found that joke funny, then you’ll go mad for this minimalist looking watch.  The top row denotes hours and the bottom row minutes and by the time you’ve worked out what time it is, it’ll already be 15 minutes later.  Useless.

2, Thumbnail Watch

Frustratingly, this spectacularlooking timepiece is a mere concept that was designed as part of a competition organized by Timex.

The thought process behind it is that it can be turned on and off by pressing down on the ‘nail’.  The colour can also be changed by touching the surface.  There are two problems with this watch:  how on earth is it going to be powered and will you need to buy a full set of matching fingernail watches?  Surely you would end up looking like some sort of LED edward scissorhands…

3, Barcode Watch

This watch is certainly a futuristic looking piece of kit and it appears almost as tricky to use as the Binary Watch.  The first 2 columns indicate hours with the second 2 indicating minutes.  Your guess is as good as mine as to what the time is in this picture, but if you run it past the barcode scanner at the checkout I think it will register as a tin of baked beans.  Or soup - I’m not too sure.

4, Camera Phone Watch

This really shouldn’t be called a ‘Camera Phone Watch’ as it’s clearly more of a ‘holy crap I wan’t that!’ sort of a watch.  It would probably be quicker to list all this things this little beauty from Korean company Telson can’t do, so here we go:  do the dishes, mow the lawn.

So if you’re looking for a 256 colour LCD screen voice recognition camera phone watch that can’t do the washing up, or cut your lawn then you know where to look.  For those of you who prefer their watches to come with a build in lawnmower, you’re best looking elsewhere I’m afraid.

5, Tokyo Flash Watch

Somehow managing to look both like an old piece of equipment you’d find in a science lab and a submarine radar at the same time, the Tokyo Flash Watch is a rather attractive little number.

The Tokyo Flash range combines stylish design with a unique LED display for each of it’s watches, seeming as it does to hold style and function in equally high regard.
