Apr 16 2009Faceless Watch Lacks Face, Hides LEDs

faceless watch 1.jpg

The LED watch was designed by Hironao Tsuboi and appears to just be a metal band. But it's actually hiding a deep, dark secret: it once ran over a bum and didn't stop! Or, LEDs. Push a button, BOOM: the time. Don't push the button, BOOM: no time. Push my buttons, BOOM: fisticuffs.

Thanks to Matt and Mastro Gippo, who don't need watches to know it's time to party.

AWESOME
AWESOME TO THE MAX

I'm in!

Amazing when numbers are lit up, like a big fat girls bracelet when not. That is a big fat bracelet beloning to a girl.. not a big fat girl who has a bracelet.

It could be both though. You decide.

WANT IT!

Buying that...Do they deliver to the UK?

Of all the gay watches, this one is actually not bad...

@ 4
wtf... ??

I WANT IT!!!!!!!!!!

meh

Not Tokyoflash?!?!?!

@7 - It looks like a girls bracelet wehn the LEDs are off. Not that hard to understand, although I may be wrong.

I want big time..

10- It can't be TokyoFlash - it's readable....


I like this one!

@13 Ditto

i like it, i like it in black. when there ever is a price, i will get one

Cool shizz......wonder if they do the lights in different colours?

Cool, but wasn't this posted here before?!

So far you can only get it in Japan, give it a few weeks and check on ebay though...

..This is actually cool.... I'm likin it!

Way awesome! I want one

I prefer my watch to have a face....and cowbell.

Needs more cowbell.

FAKE!!!!

This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake bhecause the shadow's are all wrong.

This is exactly like that scene in the Movie Never BAck Down where MAx is trying to open an ATM, and tries a saw, a sledgehammer and a torch. LAter it aflls over and the door pops open on its own, apparently it wasn't locked.

Thats hella dank

I missed Daisy when he/she/it was gone. Now? Not so much.

Naw, I'm just kiddin'. I can't stay mad at you!

Wow Im surprised is not a Tokyoflash watch

WANT

Awesome. i want one in solid rolex gold with blue led numbers.

@13 Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.......I totally agree, Always wanted a Tokyo Flash, but can't spend more than half a second deciphering my watch, that's how auctions are lost.

Now this watch looks cool, and can be read quick, all be it on a 24 hr. scale instead of the US 12hr. Why do we in the states always make things stupid, like 12hr. time, standard instead of metric, Fat instead of thin.....ugg

what are the odds tokyoflash is gunna finally drop geekologie's sponsorship? ...please tell me it's good...

I've been waiting for this wristwatch for months..... still waiting. :(

Woah, that is the shit!

oh my goodness...must have!

That's totally awesome! I wonder how you would replace the batteries on those stuff. Okay, so who knows how much this cost?

I want it... Where can I find

WHERE CAN YOU BUY THIS ?

It's still not out...anyone have any idea? How about the cost.

Daisy's right. it is a Photoshop job, but still, amazing design!!

It's a good idea .Thank you.

shut the fuck up it shit x

Sigh, no it's not photoshop, why? Wich shadows are you talking about:s it's LED! :S
Anyway, maybe I am smarter than all you guys but I just sent an e-mail to the manufacturer, and this is my reply:

Hello, thank you very much for the mail and inquiry for LED Watch.

The watch project is moving forward though It takes few more months to release.

I will inform you once the watch is ready for market.

At this moment we are in a tooling stage.

We have to apologize for have you wait for such long time. I am so sorry.
To achieve the thinnest structure with detail outlook, took lots of time with engineers.
Retail price, we are looking within 30,000JPY (320USD in current rate).

For shipping, we can ship directly from our warehouse though I don’t know how much

By EMS Air (our default carrier) since it goes by weight.

I am sorry but I want you to wait till actual watch is ready for you.

If you have more questions, please feel free to contact me.
Best regards,

 

Nobukuni Tsuboi
