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 [...]
Mirror Watch makes you fall in love with yourself
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 [...]
Concept watch tells you how drunk you are
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 [...]
Ralph Lauren Automotive Watch
Ralph Lauren Automotive Watch takes a leaf out of the designer’s well regarded car collection.

I’d check time a million times on the Kaleidoscope watch
I do have the habit of fiddling around with the watch if I am wearing one, but I’d look at the Kaleidoscope watch a million times for entirely different reasons. Created by GRO Design, the concept watch has three color gradients on its face. All these continue changing patterns like a Kaleidoscope, giving our eyes [...]
The majestic Opus Eleven watch
A look at the Opus Eleven and you know this watch isn’t going to simply point hands and show you time. No sir, the watch from Harry Winston explodes and reassembles the digits to show you the hours. The mechanism remains static for 59 minutes, and then jumps into action the last minute to create [...]

‘Love knows not what time is’ watch
Here’s a watch that doesn’t seem happy to be the timekeeper, but does seem intent upon love.

Manufactured by Mr. Jones Watches, [...]

At $625,000 a watch, the Vintage 1945 Jackpot Tourbillon sure as hell is one expensive watch.

Off-axis watch
The Off-axis watch finds its claim to fame in its dial, which has been moved 30-degrees clockwise. While the change is supposed to create a more comfortable and natural viewing angle, but I guess it will take some time getting used to. Costs $75. Via: Acquire

Pocketwatches aren’t really as much in use as they once were, but still there are people who would like to own them, and there are people who buy Tokyoflash’s shiny watches, which have an issue with telling time straight.
