Ventura Sparc MGS is a masterpiece boasting a unique mechanism that combines the worlds of analog and digital mechanisms. The display is digital, but powered by a mechanical “micro-generator system” that turns movement into electricity. This unique system is of course the highlight of the watch, and other features include date, alarm, chrono, countdown and 100 year perpetual calendar functions.

Vague Clock by designer Sejoon Kim keeps on the appearance of a flat dish, only giving up the secret of time when the user comes up close and feels the face of the watch. The clock is updated by GPS, so it remains accurate even with users continuously touching it, and goes back to the simple face when not in use.

In today’s age, you may or may not be wearing a watch, but there’s a far better chance that you’d be carrying a flash drive. Going in a similar vein, this design submission for Tokyo Flash by Olivier Demangel is a wrist watch that includes a complimentary USB drive. The Konect concept is more than a flash drive-watch combo though, it also includes support for mp3s, Bluetooth and Skype. Also, true to Tokyo Flash designs, telling time on the Konect is no piece of cake either.

About Time clock does not make use of hands for hour, minute and seconds, in their place it uses awesome translucent color wheels that give it the continued appearance of a Venn Diagram. It probably won’t tell you the exact time and is just a prototype, but the beauty and presentation of the clock is simply striking.

This pendulum clock is entirely mechanical in operation, and is made from Lego bricks. One of the pendulum’s weights is made from dead AA batteries and drives the clock, while the other switches the winding motor. When the drive weight reaches the end of the rope, the winding motor automatically winds the clock.

Tag Heuer has a long standing relation with F1 racing, keeping the same in mind, designer Peter Vardai created the Formula 1 watch concept, with focus on the McLaren-Mercedes team. And the influences are quite clear and visible with bright red inlets and the prominent Mercedes logo on the strap. Buttons on both sides of the logo release the strap, and the huge cogwheels on the watch’s face add to its racing and automobile feel.

Helios watch is crafty and interesting. The dial is a representation of the sun, with its rays forming the conventional display. An inner display called the moon shows the minutes and makes a full rotation every hour. At noon, the dial shines brightly to indicate the sun, while at midnight, the sunbeams make way for the moonbeams with darkening segments. Helios watch by F. Jouvenot is a remarkable piece, by all standards possible.

Forget clocks that tell you world time, you should be gearing up for space travel. While this clock is bulky, it would pay to take it along on whatever planet it is that you plan to visit. The clock can tell the time on any planet, depending on the rotation period of said planets. It has 16 independent timers so you won’t have to hassle as you go planet hopping.
