Tokyoflash are back with their latest timepiece, and the Hanko looks to be perhaps the company’s most confusing watch to date.  Apparently inspired by a Japanese signature stamp, the Hanko has a polished stainless-steel case and bracelet and twenty-three LEDs hidden under the black acrylic lenses.

To tell the time, you hit the upper right-hand button and, after a quick animation, the LEDs wait mockingly for you to decipher them.  Hours are shown in the center circle, groups of five minutes in the middle-circle, and finally single minutes in the outermost circle.  If that’s still confusing (and I’m not surprised) then take a look at the diagram in the gallery below.

The Tokyoflash Hanko measures 31 x 37 x 8 mm and weighs 72g; it’s water-resistant to 3ATM.  It’s available now, with white, blue or multi-colored LEDs, priced at$99.62.
