Eye Rings are different because they hold “eyes” that blink. These eyes come from vintage dolls, those from the ’40s that had blinking blue eyes. The ring is made of sterling silver, which is textured and oxidized. Handcrafted by Vicky T. Hunt, the rings cost $131.

New Parmigiani Fleurier Pershing Chronograph Is Beautiful
Parmigiani Fleurier Pershing Chronograph Zero-Zero-Two definitely has one very long name, but it compensates with the good looks. It is accurate down to a quarter of a second, and comes in cases made of stainless steel, white gold and pink gold. You get to choose from rubber or Hermes Epsom calf leather straps. While you’re at it, you may as well get the bezels encrusted with diamonds and sapphires.

Steampunk Headphones Will Make Your Ears Ache
Steampunk gadgets always look good, and while these headphones are no exception, they don’t seem to be practical either. The $30 headphones have been transformed from the original to the antique look, but that cold, hard metal rubbing against your ears can’t be all that comfortable.

Mobile Phone Coverage To Span Mount Everest
If you think the service provided by the mobile phone companies sucks, you’re probably right. But think again because one of them, Nepal Telecom, will soon make it possible for you to use your mobile phone and make calls from Mount Everest. Wouldn’t it feel nice to call your family from the world’s highest peak or may be some emergency service to rescue you from nowhere in the mountains.

Copenhagen User Experience Concept Makes Windows Look Beautiful
Some rumors already suggest that Microsoft has already started work on Windows 8. The rumor’s a far cry, but they should definitely take a hint from the concept created by Cullen Dudas. The video shows how the concept works, and it looks nifty. The designer has done his work well, and if MS is in no mood to take cues, the designer should probably release a Bumptop style application.

Crime Fighting Robots Transform Into Smartphones
Transformers have cousins in Japan. And when they are not disguised as mobile phones, these robots kick ass, and bust criminals. The Phone Baver 7 is the part of a Japanese drama, K-Tai Investigators 7. Battery operated replicas of these crime fighting phones are at sale for 12,ooo Yen. They don’t actually function as phones, but the ABS and DieCast phones can change “expressions.” Also, they have arms and legs!

Datamancer Deco Keyboard Is A Reminder Of Typewriter Keyboards
The guys at Datamancer really know how to weave magic through the keyboard, or rather, on the keyboard. The latest keyboard reminds me of old-school typewriters. The frame is a combination of wood and chrome, and there’s a black reflective acrylic faceplate as well. The only huge difference from a typewriter… it’s got LEDs; never seen those on a typewriter.

SLEEPTRACKER Elite Watch Watches You Sleep
SLEEPTRACKER Elite is a “watch” that follows its name, it tracks your sleep, up to 12 hours of it. It continuously monitors your sleep and once you plug it to your computer, you can check exactly how much sleep did you actually get. A much better function is the alarm function, that lets you set a time period within which you have to wake up. It sounds the alarm within that time period, but only when it sees that the user is in a light sleep stage. Great, but spending $179 for that seems a bit over the head.
