Shinshoku LED watch by Tokyoflash
25th April, 2007 by manda
Another futuristic watch has just been launched by Tokyoflash, and like most of their collection, telling the time does require a bit of thought. The Shinshoku is a stainless steel band with small holes cutout around it. There are 3 models of the watch, with the multi-colour LED model probably being the easiest to tell the time with. There are 12 red lights that indicate the hour, 3 green lights that show each 15-minute quarter of the hour, and 14 yellow lights to let you see the minute. The Shinshoku is also available in All-Red and All-Green LED models, with etched markings along the strap to show the hours and minutes. If you think you can handle the time-telling challenge, the Shinshoku will cost you 13,800 yen ($116/£58).

Oh, I remember seeing funky watches like this in Japan. I had no idea to read some of them even after reading the little posters! I imagine after a few days/weeks you’d be able to tell the time just as easily as any other timepiece.
