The Stencil shows time with the “negative space” on the LCD screen. The display is always on, and there’s an electroluminescent backlight for night use. The Stencil displays the time [...]

Here’s another of those arty watches from Tokyoflash Japan. The Kisai Optical Illusion Watch has a touchscreen for accessing the four main functions. Like those optical illusion posters from years ago, the time display is buried in a pattern of high-resolution digital lines. Once you’ve trained your eyes, you’ll be able to see the time. [...]

I really like watches, especially unusual ones. The Phosphor Appear Black Crystal Watch with Black Gloss Leather Strap is certainly unusual. It reminds me of eInk screens in a way. Instead of using LEDs to show the time, these watches turn over crystals to show a clear side or a colored side to create the [...]

Most watches require the time to be set manually. Some watches have the functionality to auto set to the correct time when it receives a signal from an atomic clock.

The Eremos watch from Stauer features a stainless steel case (42mm diameter, 12mm thick) and a leather band. That’s where the similarity to regular watches ends. The Eremos is a regulator watch, which is a timepiece based on the observatory clocks of the 1800s that were so precise because they separated the hour and minutes [...]

I really love my automatic, analogue watches, there’s just something about watching ( pun intended ) the mechanism. It’s like it’s “alive”. That being said these look really sweet. Often Tokyoflash’s watches require an advanced degree in cryptography to tell the time but the 3D Unlimited , while very different is easy to read. The [...]

We’ve all seen those fabulous watches that use color patterns to display the time, but I often wonder if telling the time with a quick glance ever is possible with one.
