There’s just something so cool about the design of Nixie tubes – I think it’s just that for such an old technology, they’re still sort of timeless. It’s been a little while since I saw a really good looking Nixie clock though, but this one was definitely worth the wait.

Looking for a totally unique piece of jewelry? Well it doesn’t get more special than a piece you designed yourself. And thanks to an awesome app from the guys over at Nervous System, you can create your own earrings, necklaces and other art objects in a snap.

Sure, I like Diesel, but I never thought I’d see them make headphones. That’s probably one reason why Monster, whose widely-publicized split from Beats, provided the technical know-how to help make these. I’ll give the VEKTR Headphones one thing: they look unique.

I’ll admit that from time to time, I do want to carry around a pocket watch, but the obsessiveness of always being on time and knowing the exact time, right down to the second takes precedence in my timely, regimented world.

When it comes to headphones, it’s all about the audio as far as I’m concerned. Sure, if they look good they can make a fashionable accessory as well, but for me, the sound is paramount. That doesn’t mean that there aren’t some interesting new designs coming out.

If you’re looking for a watch that looks cool, and is almost impossible for anyone but you to figure out, you might want to check out the CODEX watch concept, which tells time using a unique display that seems almost incomprehensible – until you understand the trick.

Here’s a cool concept for a modern watch, which would tell time using just a few simple lines. The Geometrix watch was designed by Vladislav Novikov-Barkovsky of Red Richman Creative Studio. At its most basic, the Geometrix uses a single line to connect the dots between the current hour and its minutes.

You know me, I’m a pushover for cool digital watch designs – even ones which are just concepts. Often times, concept watches are just too difficult to produce, and that’s why they never make it to market.

Futuristic films that involve computers and stuff always include a scene where the characters are using extremely high-tech computers with screens and keyboards made of glass.

When I think of rocking chairs, I recall an image of my grandmother sitting in one as she stared out the window of her room. A pretty sad – or rather forlorn memory, I know.

The iKurv is Speakal‘s new dock for iPods and iPhones. It definitely looks like it’s from the future, and it comes with two large speakers that are connected with a tube. There’s a glowing blue stripe along its edge, which gives it even a more futuristic look.

Did you ever think that a modern clock would use shadows to tell the time? This timepiece reminds me of sundials, but it’s definitely the high-tech version, using a plethora of LED lights to showcase the time.

Typically, you need different types of scales depending on what sort of thing or being you want to weigh. But with this intriguing concept, the scale itself is able to scale to suit its target.

Nooka’s new Zizm zenH watch not only has a weird name, but looks pretty strange at first glance, because that’s when you realize that something crazy is going on with the watch’s crystal. Once you get past this, the face is pretty familiar if you know Nookas.

Nooka just released an update to their Zub Zoo LCD watch. They’re calling it the Zub Zoo 40 and it’s got an interesting feature, which makes it very easy to swap out bands. This means that you can customize them quite easily.

Back in 2010, Cappellini presented the TRON Armchair, designed by Dror Benshetrit. Inspired by the Outlands of TRON: Legacy, only a handful of prototypes were made. Now it looks like these chairs will be going into mass production for Walt Disney’s Signature line, so you soon will be able to have one in your place.
