Dec 9 2008Ooooh, Stoplight-y!: The Kisai Tenmetsu
The Kisai Tenmetsu is the latest in wrist bad-assery available from Tokyoflash. It's a definite departure from a lot of the other designs.
Three LEDs positioned beneath each lens allow a transition between LED colors creating a look never before seen. A continuous line running between the lenses and through the wrist band provides perfect balance and a sweeping animation effect adds character to the design.
The time is displayed in two stages: hours, then minutes. Red LEDs are 15 units of time, amber 5, and green 1. Add them together to find out the time. Adding is fun! The Tenmetsu is available now in both black and silver, and will set you back $257. And contrary to popular belief, no, Tokyoflash does not pay my bills. I blog for no one. Well, that's not entirely true, you see, I blog for Jesus, folks. And, okay, loose women. Isn't that right ladies? Oh, come on -- free chocolate!
One more shot after the jump.

FAKE!!!!
This is an obvious photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max and Baja try to keep the city of new york from shutting off the power to their containment system, and then run like hell when they cut the wires.

Ya know, usually Daisy's comments make me want to take my own life and those of everyone around me, but I gotta admit, this one was pretty funny. Nice work, Daisy.

12. Moose Knuckle - December 9, 2008 3:27 PM
Can we get a watch that's even less convnient? How 'bout one that displays the time written phonetically in morse code? Or sankrit? Or maybe a small video screen with a clown acting out the time charades style?

"Or maybe a small video screen with a clown acting out the time charades style?"
That's one I'd buy. If only to occupy myself while drunk. Who am I kidding, while sober too.

@12 Agreed. I'm thinking of one that will electrically shock you in braille.

SOME of these USED to be cool. Now they're just trying to come up with any 'creative' way to put 'digits' on something that can strap on your wrist.
16. Hannukah Montana - December 9, 2008 3:40 PM
@12 Exactly!
@14 Same thing here. A bad-ass Braille wrist watch might do... or probably shoots laser when it strikes 12. Pah-pew pew! Pew! Pah-peeeeeeewwww!
(sizzle)* psssssssssss...

Holy f***!

We have just designed a brand new watch that's in the shape of a gun metal octagon. There's 14orange LEDs that stand for the millisecond. A picture of megaman represents the minutes, depending on how many times megaman winks with his left eye, thats how many minutes there are at that very second. There's 3 brown anchors to show the hour of the day. Take the anchors, the direction they're pointing in (latitude/longitude) then add the number of times megaman just winked. And if theyre flashing at 1.5 milliseconds per second it means that it's daylight savings time. Oh yea, and it's in braille.

I just love that company - they have exchanged my old 12-5-9 Gunmetal B for a new one beceause the paint job was wearing off.
21. The Fonz - December 9, 2008 5:59 PM
sweet. you love them because they have watches that the paint job wears off.

@5 - Claiming first when you're not first is even lamer than saying FIRST when you are. Have a look at what poster 18 has typed. See that? That's how you contribute properly.
