This Rolex tattoo isn’t some poor chap’s attempt of getting a Rolex around his wrists, it’s some rich guy showing his love for the brand. The dial on the tattoo is studded with diamonds, you would expect a “real” Rolex to have. All that bling, and a Rolex tattoo with diamonds embedded in the skin… I have no idea what to say.

If exclusivity is your thing, Piaget has got you covered, and probably smothered in the love of New York City. This timepiece pays tribute to 12 important buildings of New York, putting them on the side of the watch as well as engraving them on the black dial. The mechanical watch uses Piaget’s own 608P mechanism that makes use of 27 jewels amongst a total of 163 components. You don’t expect this watch to be anywhere near cheap, in fact, we guess the fact that only 3 will ever be made makes this super expensive.
Nirvaana concept watch takes inspiration from two very different sources, from the Silent Hill song Cradle of Forest, and from the Rinnegan eyes of the Naruto manga and anime series. Divided into three sections, the watch shows time in an analog format, using the left side for hours, the right for minutes, and the middle for seconds. Designed by Firdaus, the watch has a horror, creepy, Gothic theme.

Mhin clock by Irish designer James Tobin is made in ceramic, rubber and metal. It shows time without actually showing time. The hour and minute hands move with simple mechanic precision, going linearly so you don’t have a constant ticking reminder of time flowing by, thus the idea of showing time with an inherent ambiguity.
We’ll suppose the whiteboard wall clock would be good for a few things, like leaving notes and remembering appointments. Just write up along the dial and whenever you check the time, the clock itself will serve as a reminder. Costs $71.

Having a Space Invaders inspired screen on a high-end luxury watch doesn’t quite inspire confidence. But Romain Jerome has done exactly that with a new range of watches. Available as monochromatic or colored screens for the dial, the watch is a homage to the extremely successful arcade game of the ’70s. The watch has a mechanical self-winding movement, and lugs fitted with safety screws and integrated ball-and-socket joints to provide ergonomic wrist adjustments. Production run for both versions of the watch is limited to 78 pieces.

On second thought, it probably doesn’t make you love yourself, but reinforces those narcissistic beliefs you may be harboring. Who the heck wants to look at a watch when you get to see your own super pretty face. Yeah, the mirror watch’s got a mirror on its face letting you take a look at your good self any second you want. If there really is a need to see the time, let those bright red LEDs light up and show the time. Costs $60.

Tokyoflash watches are known to do a lot more than just tell time. This time around, they’re going to check the watch wearer’s blood alcohol content (BAC). Just push the dedicated button on the concept watch to activate its alcohol test function, and it will get back with the BAC. I have no idea what use it can be except for some crazy drinking games.

Kitchen cutlery clock makes obvious references to its name in its looks. It uses an alternate arrangement of forks and spoons to be present where numbers would usually go. The clock would be a lot more useful if the forks and spoons could actually be put to use. Costs $30.

Ralph Lauren Automotive Watch takes a leaf out of the designer’s well regarded car collection. This watch has been inspired by his 1938 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic which shows itself in the watch’s elm burl ring, a galvanized matte black dial that shows numbers in white and resembles the car’s dials, and visible screws to match the car’s rivets. The watch is priced at $13,800.
