This past weekend, the U.S. Midwest was struck by some really nasty tornadoes. As tornadoes will do, they caused some very bad destruction in the areas and some even lost their lives. Tornadoes are pretty scary and they can destroy everything you have in just seconds.

You don’t usually see much creativity in the design of rain gutters and downspouts. They all pretty much look the same to me (when the bums in the alley aren’t stealing them for scrap metal). But here’s a cool design that adds a touch of whimsy to the bottom of a downspout, taking the deluge of water that pours out and turning it into a little storm of its own.

This bold metal watch from London’s STORM combines digital and analog worlds in a single timepiece. While it’s not quite as futuristic as Seahope’s Leiji Meter watch, it’s a heck of a lot easier to tell time with. In addition to telling time on its illuminated analog face, the STORM Navigator can also tell the time and date on a small liquid crystal display.

You’ll have to rely on your keen powers of observation to figure out the current time on this new watch from Storm. The limited-edition Storm Synth conceals the current time by taking standard hour hand, minute hand, second hand equation and multiplying it by three.

Here’s a new LED watch that’s sure to draw attention whenever you go to check the time. The STORM Faze watch features a unique dot-matrix LED display, concealed behind a plastic lens that sort of reminds me of the compound eye of an insect.

In the market for a modern digital watch that’s looks cool, but is still easy to read? Storm’s Ambition watches might be just what you’re looking for. Featuring a stealthy face design that looks like some sort of bar code when the watch is dormant, you’d never know the time was hiding beneath its unassuming surface.

The latest men’s watch from London’s STORM offers a modern display with a retro spin. The watch reveals the current time using a series of numeric discs which rotate behind wedge-shaped portals around the perimeter of its face. The STORM Nirvana features a cool stainless and black metal hybrid watch band which really stands out from the crowd thanks to it’s cool segmented link design.

For some reason, the latest digital watch from London’s STORM features a readout that brings back memories of classic TV shows from my childhood. I’m not sure if it’s more reminiscent of a Cylon Centurion helmet from Battlestar Galactica, or the dashboard from KITT from Knight Rider.

Normally, I don’t think most analog watches fit in with the “high-tech” aesthetic here at Technabob, but leave it to London’s STORM Watches to prove me wrong. These retro-modern watches really do stand out from the crowd. Not only do their Remi watches look stellar, they really do have that geeky quality that you’ve come to rely on us for.
