Spiraling Time. A Cool Watch for Geeks!
What time is it?
Here is a really cool and futuristic watch I found from www.tokyoflash.com
Available in either Black or Silver & with a mirrored blue LCD display it tells the time via a series of spiraling blocks.
Around the outer edges are 60 segments, indicating 1 minute each. They are grouped in 10's so it's easy to tell the time at a glance. The inner spiral of blocks represent 1 hour each.
This is one of those watches that at first it seems impossible to tell the time, but once you understand how it works it's fairly simple. Within a few days of using it you can tell the time just as fast as a traditional wall clock.
The LCD display is mirrored with blue tinted segments. Since the display is "always on" there is no need to push a button to see the time.
This watch also has an animation feature. Once a minute, the display spirals all the way off & all the way on, then settles back onto the current time. (see the animated graphic at the top of the page for the effect) Since this is not a LED light effect, it does not drain battery power nor is it too distracting.
Another notable feature of this watch is it's small size & weight. The strap is a svelte 1.5mm thick, barely more than a Dime & it weighs just 60 grams.

I'm dizzy from looking at this already, need a Tylenol.
Give me an old fashioned two-hand wristwatch.
