Robot Watch not a transformer but transforms into a desk clock

, Sep 25th 2007 Discuss [0]

These robot watches from Japan can serve multiple purposes, a watch, a desk clock, a keychain time piece, or even a necklace pendant. The robot tells the time and has bendable arms and headphones. You could feasibly put a key ring, D-ring, or necklace chain through the headphones. The robot pops out of the wristband and can stand on its own two to act like a desk clock, even though it would be a really small one. Read The Full Story

HD3 Complications Vulcania highly complex watch

, Sep 20th 2007 Discuss [2]

I found a list of the top 8 most complex watches in the world the other day. I am a pretty big fan of good watches, chances are I am not talking about that one your aunt got you last Christmas, and if I am, is anyone in your family adopting 21 year olds? The one at the top of the list is made by a company called HD3 Complication. It’s called the Vulcania. It was designed with Jules Verne in mind, and with a bi axial tourbillion. I am not entirely sure what that is, but it’s in several of these watches. Anyways, the best part about this watch is that it costs 166,500 pounds, which means you can double that number to get an estimate of price in USD. Read The Full Story

MB C1000 is the new world’s smallest touchscreen phone

, Sep 18th 2007 Discuss [0]

It is a really small tri-band GSM phone. It has Bluetooth with A2DP an media features to make use of it. There is only a mere 60MB of storage though with no apparent method of adding any capacity to that, so all those media features are for naught. It does have a 1.5-inch touchscreen though.

MP4 Watch back with a vengeance, and a bigger screen

, Sep 18th 2007 Discuss [1]

That’s right, it’s the MP4 Watch II or 2 whatever. Additions include some screen real estate, its now sitting at 1.8 inches with a res of 160x128, the first one was only 128 square. There is also a speaker now, whereas before all you had was headphones. There is a digital watch, MP4 player (duh), music player, FM radio, voice recorder, photo album, and e-book reader all in a compact wrist watch form factor. Read The Full Story

Parmigiani Fleurier Bugatti Watch looks amazing

, Sep 13th 2007 Discuss [4]

It’s the Bugatti Type 370 watch, and it is truly a work of art. It even won the 2006 Watch of the Year award from the Japanese press. The initial goal was to make the watch only available to Bugatti Veyron owners, since it is a driving watch, themed after the car company. However, the huge demand for this watch has made cause for its release upon the general public instead of the select few who own one of those highly coveted $1.25mil+ cars. Read The Full Story

TAGHeuer Monaco 69 is literally two-faced

, Sep 10th 2007 Discuss [1]

Looking for a watch to satiate even the lowest educated person in your family? So what Uncle Bobby can’t read an analog clock, just get him this watch and he can work on it in his spare time and still be on time. On one side there is a very professional looking analog face that looks great. Then you can flip it over to reveal the LCD-powered digital face. Sure its an LCD but it keeps it simple with a light on dark approach. Read The Full Story

Modular ‘Lobster’ concept has snap-on GPS, camera

, Sep 5th 2007 Discuss [0]

If you're going to call your concept "Lobster" then it damn well better have snappy-claws!  It's an instant point knocked off for Danilio Mangini's modular wristband, but they quickly score again thanks to a concept product that might actually be useful.  The Lobster is a core screen and cellphone with detachable modules that each bring different functionality; for instance, you may snap on a GPS module, or alternatively a MP3 player.   Read The Full Story

QuestoDesign Abacus Watches Attract Minimalists

, Aug 27th 2007 Discuss [1]

The Abacus watch is so minimal that they only sign that you might be able to somehow get the time from it is the little ball rolling around inside it. The little ball actually does sort of tell time, the face is blank so really it only gives you a good estimate. Read The Full Story

Tokyoflash Morse Code Watch Annoying As Hell

, Aug 24th 2007 Discuss [2]

Sure, Tokyoflash has put out some moderately annoying, and hard to tell time timepieces before, but I really think this one takes the cake. Sure the picture of the Morse Code Watch shows the time rather straightforwardly, but don’t let that confuse you.

Its true mission is to give you a brain aneurysm while trying to figure out the time. Apparently there are three different “code” modes, one of which is Morse, the other two, I have yet to find an article or retailer even hinting as to what they are other than to say you probably need secret service training from somewhere to figure them out.

Nike AMP+ iPod Watch

, Aug 15th 2007 Discuss [0]

This isn’t the first watch to integrate iPod functions, but it is the first from Nike. The watch looks very basic, black on the outside, and bright red on the inside. You can also only see the screen when its on, which I assume means it has some sort of off switch or at least a standby mode. I guess the AMP+ is designed to be linked to a Nike+ capable iPod Nano. When the connection is mad the AMP+ can display tons of info from your iPod and can even control it. Apparently there have been 13 of them sighted. They are due out for the general public in a few months, with an, as yet, undisclosed price. Nike Amp Watch Leaked [via OhGizmo]
