Mar 6 2007Mugen watch uses spirals to tell time

Mugen (meaning "infinity" in Japanese) is a watch developed by Futara Studio that uses a series of spiraling blocks to tell the time. The outer segment has 60 segments for minutes and the inner segment is blocked off for hours. It looks cool, but I really don't understand why people keep making watches that are harder and harder to read. Eventually the face is just gonna be a giant block of wood and the user is gonna have to look at the sky and guess the time.

Thats really cool. I just ordered one from Amazon, it should be in any day now. They have several different models also. The one I ordered was the mens Futara. It's very different. I like different. I will let you know how it is.
