Concept wristwatch gets power from wind

, May 16th 2011 Discuss [0]

I really like concept products and I enjoy checking out weird watches too. The last strange wristwatch that I talked about was the Azimuth SP-1 that looked like an old WWI tank. That watch was real and was something that you could buy right then if you were so inclined. A new watch today has turned up that is a concept, but has a very cool feature for keeping it powered. Most of the high-end watches have to be wound to keep time. Read The Full Story

Geek makes toy motorcycles out of watch parts

, Apr 19th 2011 Discuss [0]

I like seeing people take one device and use it to make other devices. I'm not talking about taking a hammer and making a birdhouse out of wood with some nails. I am talking about taking apart a watch and using the gears and parts to make a sculpture of something else like this guy going by dkart71 did. Read The Full Story
