Telling Time in a New Way

By Lisa Agustin

Looking for a unique holiday gift? Then you may be interested in a watch by Japanese company Tokyo Flash, whose specialty is creating unique interfaces for telling time. Each watch offers a different kind of visual system: My favorites are the spiderweb-like iPattern, which splits the dial into two halves, the top for hours and the bottom for minutes, or for a real challenge, check out the 1000100101 which–you guessed it–presents time in a binary display. The product page for each watch includes a guide for telling time using your new space-age timepiece.
