It’s going to be a limited edition from the Hublot Confrerie Line, so my guess is that it will probably be very expensive.

While The Key of Time sounds like something Doctor Who would need or use (The Key to Time was an actual Doctor Who story arc), Hublot used this name because this watch can slow down time or speed it up upon command. It will then revert to the proper time when needed. Sure, it’s kind of gimmicky, but there’s reason behind this madness. Remember that sometimes it feels like time slows down to a crawl or passes in a flash? This watch seems to work from this premise.

The biggest problem with the concept is that most of us would prefer to buy a house than buy a fancy watch.

But for those of you who do take up residence in the insanely popular virtual world, you’ll soon have a way to give your avatar a little more style and class.

Luxury Swiss watch maker Hublot has revealed to our friends over at WatchLuxus that they’ll be setting up an impressive virtual shop on Second Life a little later this month. You’ll be able to immerse yourself in the upscale environs of the Hublot Island store, complete with elegant contemporary interior design, fancy landscaping, bars to hang out in and even a place to dock your imaginary yacht.

You’ll be able to peruse the collection of Hublot’s elegant high-tech and traditional watches and let your avatar accessorize with them. The Hublot virtual store will open its doors on September 12th. I’m not sure how many virtual bucks their timepieces will cost, but given the fancy digs, I’m sure that you’ll have to save up a few Lindens. But your virtual friends will certainly be impressed.
