Tokyoflash Ni watch: so complex it has to explain itself?
Tokyoflash have announced another watch, and it seems the readout on the Ni is so confusing that they’ve actually had to annotate the LEDs. Rows of lights are embedded into the horizontally-grooved stainless steel case, and at the touch of a button the LEDs illuminate in turn from top to bottom to let you add up exactly what time it is.
A second press of the button indicates the date. LED animations are flashed through before the time or date is settled on. The Ni is also water-resistant to 3ATM.
Three versions of the Ni are available, with either white LEDs, blue LEDs or red & green LEDs. They’re all priced at $144.07 including five-day worldwide delivery.

Swiss watchmaker Romain Jerome has released something new and amazingly awesome in the “Moon Dust-DNA” collection. It’s a collection of 1969 timepieces that includes watches made from such things as moon dust, parts of the Apollo 11 rocket and even pieces actual spacesuits. Why 1969 timepieces? That was the year of the first moon landing. 
Most of us have a pretty boring routine. Designer Andy Kurovets had some fun with that fact with this watch that leads the user through the six stages of their average day. It starts with Wake Up!, then leads us through our commute. Next we are sitting at a PC at work, before eventually returning home to watch TV and finally going to bed. 
Fans of The Man Of Steel can now get this awesome Stainless Steel Watch with Superman’s logo on it. The watch comes with a black enamel bezel featuring a metallic silver dial with the embossed shield logo, in the same style as the classic Christopher Reeve movie.
Here’s the latest from Tokyoflash, who aims to start a fire on your wrist. This one is designed vertically with Yellow LEDs that will tell you the hours, red LEDs indicate groups of 10 minutes and the green LEDs indicate single minutes. As always, hard to read for some, but very stylish and futuristic. It features an adjustable strap and they claim that it’s so comfortable you barely know it’s on your wrist. You can get yours for a limited time only launch price of about $130.
I’ll be honest, I don’t understand the whole Sudoku craze. But this beautiful watch based on the game has a great look. It’s a shame it costs a fortune and only gives you a single level. The outlandishly priced watch commemorates one Leonard Euler, the Swiss mathematician whose Latin Squares inspired the game of Sudoku. It will cost you $995 and comes in a game box.

The Oracle Watch is a pretty slick looking digital watch. It mixes the ancient art of telling time with the ancient Chinese philosophy of I Ching. Though I think the maker was thinking more about the ancient art of “Ka-ching I got your money”. How it works, I have no idea. It’s all pretty confusing. I think the basic idea is that it’s a fancy Magic 8-Ball for your wrist. It will guide you and share it’s wisdom, secure in the knowledge that they got your money. Still, it’s a pretty sweet looking watch.
