Tokyoflash, those wild and crazy watch makers just never take a breather. Which is great for us, because if it wasn’t for Tokyoflash, watches would be boring. They’re back, having never left, with their latest wristwatch known as the Ni.
This design is at once stylish and minimal. The Ni is made entirely from stainless steel and features a polished finish, with horizontal grooves on the face and strap that give it a great look. The time progresses in one direction. Touch the upper button for an animation before the time is displayed. Each LED on the bottom line indicates two hours, the line above indicates a single hour, a combination presenting the current hour. Groups of 10 minutes are presented on the center row and single minutes on the upper two lines.
The Tokyoflash Ni will cost you $144 should you choose to put it in my Christmas stocking.

Here is another “Alien technology” from Tokyoflash that comes in the form of the Tokyoflash NI Watch. The watch’s case is entirely made from stainless steel with a polished finish. The timepiece features a slimline case, strap and a simple buckle that allow it to wrap comfortably around your wrist. I will show you how to read this watch. Each LED on the lowest line displays two hours and the line above indicates a single hour. The combination of these two lines indicates the current hour. You can also see the groups of 10 minutes that are presented on the center line and single minutes on the upper two lines. Available in all blue LED, all white LED or red and green LED, the Tokyoflash NI watch retails for $144 each. [GeekAlerts]

If you love Champagne, then check out the Moet Bottle Clock that was made from a real Moet Champagne bottle. The bottle has been heated to melting point and flattened to create a flat bottle shape. The labels have been re-applied to make it appear as if the bottle has been squashed flat. The Moet Bottle Clock measures 315mm x 145mm x 40mm and is available in 2 different color versions including standard Brut Imperial (yellow label), or Rosé Imperial (pink label). [Drink Stuff]

This new watch from Germany’s Botta Design can’t be bothered with two full rotations of the hour hand over the course of a 24 hour day.
The Botta UNO 24 uses a single pointy hand that rotates at 1/2 the speed of a normal watch, letting you view all 24 hours of the day without a 2nd time around the dial.
Each of the 24 hours and hash marks on the face of the watch correspond to the position of the Sun in the sky. And the time can be read within 5 minutes of accuracy with just a single hand (clearly, the UNO 24 isn’t for the detail oriented).
Each UNO 24 is crafted from a stainless steel body with a RONDA Swiss movement and a durable sapphire mineral glass crystal. Water resistance is rated at 3 ATM, and the watches available with either a leather or stainless steel band.
The UNO 24 will start shipping this December, and can be pre-ordered from Watchismo with prices starting at $395 USD.

This amazing wall clock can display intricate animations thanks to the optical phenomenon known as persistence of vision (POV). Using a small spinning “blade” covered in red, green and blue LEDs, along with sophisticated microcontroller circuit, this clock can dynamically change its look with just the push of a button.
The clock comes with a wireless remote that lets you flip between a variety of different display modes, including traditional clocks, modern digitals, 3D animations, and even a Pac-Man mode. And with the optional upload module, you can load your own custom animations onto the clock face.

The latest version of the clock offers a significant upgrade over the original 2-color version, adding a full RGB display and enhanced animation capabilities. It can even do real time math to convert square pixel graphics into the cartesian coordinates needed to display along the blade’s circular path.
The RGB POV Clock should be available from Innovative Device by the end of the year.
