MB&F HM3 ReBel timepiece channels bikers, James Dean, the filthy rich

, Mar 1st 2011 Discuss [0]

We're used to bizarre timepieces from MB&F, and while the company's new HM3 ReBel - R for right (hand), B for Black (case) - timepiece may not rock the fey owl look, it's still pretty darn unusual. The "rebels" in this case are those who want to wear their watch on the right wrist, rather than the left; they also have to be well-heeled, since only 18 of the HM3 ReBel pieces will be made.

Orbo Watch Takes Circular Face, E Ink, Tells All

, Feb 11th 2011 Discuss [8]

We've got a soft spot for conceptual design in our collective hearts here at SlashGear, and when a bit of industrial design comes along so very close to production that they only need a little nudge to get out of the door, we can't resist. Especially when that design is brilliant to the level that this watch is. It appears to be analog until you realize what the hands are telling you - the hours, minutes, seconds, day, weather, and basically anything else you'd like, all of it in a cleverly fashionable design.

Ohh! Pretty Colors!

iPod nano watches are perhaps one of the more surprising trends of 2010, and probably near the top of the list of those overwhelmed by their popularity are TikTok and LunaTik. Since project lead Scott Wilson put the multi-touch watch kits on fund crowd-sourcing site Kickstarter, he's raised almost $1m - well in excess of the $15,000 Wilson originally hoped for.

Watches with Bluetooth inside that can show you data from your smartphone are nothing new. Most of the watches I have seen have been from lesser known brands though.

Dot Wristwatch Features LED Time Telling, More Bracelet Than Watch

, Aug 16th 2010 Discuss [0]

We're not sure when it happened, but apparently the move to make your wristwatch look more like a bracelet than, say, a watch is apparently taking off. This time around, it's the "Dot" wristwatch, utilizing LED technology to bring you the latest time without much effort at all. What makes it more bracelet than watch, too, is the fact that it's created from perforated rubber, and not some ridiculous amount of metal. Read The Full Story

Mutewatch Features a Hidden Touch-Based Screen and Silent Alarm

, Aug 5th 2010 Discuss [1]

High-profile watches exist. We know this. But, in the case of most of them, the truth is that it takes advanced mathematics to just figure out what time it is. That's usually no fun. So, when we saw the Mutewatch, we had to take a second look, because, as you can see from the image, it doesn't look like there's much going on here. Especially no ridiculous amounts of math. So what makes the Mutewatch cool enough to be considered "high-profile?" Find out after the break. Read The Full Story

Tokyoflash's latest attempt to bamboozle our wrists is out, and the Traffic does at least have numbers from which you can attempt to decipher the time.  Like Frogger meets Tron, the watch has a smoked black plastic front with neon LED lights that show hours with the "city streets", five-minute blocks with the "subway" and single minutes with the "highway out of town".
