I went through a phase where I loved Japanese watches. I still do, but for now, I use my cell phone as a watch. That being said, those guys over at TokyoFlash continue to come up with some great ideas. This time, they’ve created this cool curved E-ink display watch, which might become a…

Hey there. Having a normal weekend so far? Let’s make it freaky then; that’s what I’m paid to do. Below is a shot of watchmaker Louis Moinet’s latest creation. It’s called the Jurassic Tourbillon, a watch whose dial contains “fragments of authentic fossilized dinosaur bones.”

The Jurassic Tourbillion’s case is adorned by 18K white…

Modder Dataman recently got his hands on Adafruit’s Monochron Pong Clock and massaged it into this cool Space Invaders clock – nicknamed the Intruderchron. Even though originally, the video game Space Invaders came out 6 years after Pong, the Space Invaders clock uses the same hardware as the Pong clock.

I’m not sure why it is that these cool watches over the last few days are jumping out at me. I don’t even like watches and even if I was loaded enough to drop dig bucks on a watch, I wouldn’t. To me a $100 Swatch is just as good as a $5,000 Rolex.…

Neatoramanaut Dennis shared pics of Super Mario-themed shelves that he and his girlfriend Judith put together for their apartment. Actually Judith did almost everything. And Mama Mia, what a piece of woodwork:

The shelves and cloud are all made of wood, while the mushroom, Mario and Luigi figures were store bought; naturally, the princess…

I long ago gave up wearing a wrist watch for several reasons. I was always getting my watch wet washing my hands and a watch gives you crazy tan marks on your arm in the 465-degree Texas summer heat. I saw this cool design concept on Yanko Design website that I would wear though.…

Check out this cool clock made from an old hard drive. Built by modder Svofski, the clock tells time on the face of the hard drive’s rapidly spinning platter.

The Strobeshnik hard drive clock uses a stroboscopic effect to make it look like the numbers of the clock are persistent on the face of…

We can always count on the guys over at TokyoFlash to come up with new and different ways to tell the time. With their modern approach to product design, they’re now asking shoppers to weigh in on prospective designs before they go ahead and create the real watches. In trolling through the aisles of…

Sander Mulder made a Pong Clock way back in 2005, but Limor Fried of Adafruit Industries ups the ante with the Monochron, a Pong-themed clock for tinkerers. If you want to have one you better know how to solder, because the Monochron will be delivered to you unassembled, and by that I mean you’ll…

Made by Ji Lee, the Redundant Clock is the exact opposite of math clocks:

When the big hand is pointing there and the little hand is pointing there, it’s big hand pointing there and little hand pointing there o’clock.

Ah, product designers. You and your neat concepts and even neater illustrations. Never asking “What’s possible?”, but instead, “What’s awesome?”, which is a pretty good mentality if you ask me. Here’s one of your brethren’s deliciously high-tech idea for a timepiece: a watch whose minute and hour hands are lasers. LASERS!

After watching and listening to the smiley singing frogs standing on the top of this weird Japanese clock, I’m pretty sure that I’d never want this thing in my bedroom. I have enough trouble easing my way into the day already, and to be blasted out of my deep REM cycles by a couple…
