Hasta La Gadget!

We look towards the sky and see only blue spotted with clouds. What lies beyond our field of vision aside from stars and what a a telescope can show us is unknown. We have theorized for a very long time that there are other forms of life out there, but we can’t know for sure. Until we discover anything, we’ll just imagine what otherworldly creatures might look like, as well as their culture, method of writing, and more.

Much like a Tokyoflash watch, maybe it will be something that is easy to understand once we learn the concept behind it. The Space Digits Wood LCD Watch plays on the idea of our search for this knowledge, receding into what seems like the eternal abyss of space through an arcade-style tunnel.  While the time may be more apparent, the date is also hiding on the display as well. Time reads left to right, while the date can be seen when reading top to bottom.

There are two options available at $99, which includes a Maple wood with gold LCD, or a red sandalwood with green LCD. They will be far more lightweight than similar styles which are made of metal. There is an alarm mode, and it has backlighting for night time should you need the assistance to see. It uses a standard replaceable battery, meaning you’ll have to get it replaced every few years.

Everything we do in life feels like a well-timed dance. Work, errands, socializing, and more are planned and executed down to an exact minute, with little room for error. If we do mess up the flow we’ll start to fall behind. The ticking of a clock can be calming as much as it can strike fear into your heart.

If you find your eyes looking to find the exact minute for what time it is, even when you know you don’t need to worry about going on to a new task for some time, then the Hazy Clock might help you relax a little. This is a designer piece by Ivan Kasner who was inspired by blurred images. Not being able to quite make out the time will hopefully encourage being a bit more relaxed about checking obsessively.

The only problem with that is our phones, wrist watches, and computers have it plastered everywhere. It’s a fancy clock with a neat concept, but leans a bit on the expensive side at $199. If you just wanted to blur your clock face you can take some sandpaper to its glass or plastic covering. However, the lack of line and almost mythical look of this clock would certainly be a great addition to any office or home space if you’ve got the money for it.

How many of us use our smartphones as the regular alarm clock? I am quite sure that the answer would be the majority, which means the regular alarm clock as we know it – you know, with a hammer that hits the bell many times a single second to create that signature ring, is no longer as popular as it once was. Well, modern day technology has arrived to give the good ol’ alarm clock a technological upgrade, so to speak, so here we are with the Sound Rise bedroom speaker from the folks over at Soundfreaq.

The $69 Soundfreaq Sound Rise is no ordinary bedroom speaker. First of all, it comes in a shade of black, which makes it more or less suitable to fit into just about any bedroom decorative theme without standing out like a sore thumb. Apart from that, it is also extremely small with a tiny footprint, measuring 5.2” wide, 5.6” high and 3.3” deep. That ought to allow you to place it just about anywhere in the room without having it take up too much space. Built to complement your modern lifestyle, it will let you enjoy your favorite new song while getting ready to go out to meet your friends, or how about streaming a movie from your tablet as you lay in your comfortable bed?

The Sound Rise boasts of a custom designed monophonic driver which delivers up to 3.5W of optimized power for maximum distortion-free volume. There is also Tone Control that helps you select preferred equalization presets: flat, warm or bright, while it will connect to Bluetooth-capable devices thanks to Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity. Just in case you still have one of the older devices out there that do not come with Bluetooth connectivity, and yet want to hook it up to the Soundfreaq Sound Rise, the line in 3.5mm input is there to save the day. You and your mate need to wake up at different times? No problem, the Sound Rise has a dual alarm with day setting control as well as a backup battery, so that you need not worry about missing out on your wake up call. It also comes with a USB port that lets you juice up your smartphone while you sleep, now how about that?

A fancy timepiece is something that everyone would like to have, although at the end of the day, you will not go wrong with the like of Tissot or a Rolex. Of course, such watches will definitely cost a bomb, but you know for sure that they are basically watches that will be able to last you for an entire lifetime. Well, how about taking the road less traveled with the $199.99 TokyoFlash Kisai On Air? This particular timepiece sports a minimalist design without compromising on the insides which actually boasts of a highly-technical package.

In a nutshell, the TokyoFlash Kisai On Air will most of the time feature a blank, round LCD display that has a number written on where you would normally find the hour hand reside on an analog watch. The number itself will be able to tell you just how many minutes it is past the hour, while the angle it’s pointing to will indicate the hour itself. Minimalist and smart at the same time, making it a firm favorite with us geeks here. Not only that, the dial itself is touch-sensitive, as it boasts of a quartet of hot-zones (top, bottom, left, right). These hot-zones would allow you to change the mode with but a touch of a finger, now how about that?

Have you ever gone to the great outdoors, where there is no light pollution at all to spoil the view of the night sky, allowing you to check out plenty of stars along the way? Of course, during a full moon, the entire orchestra of the cosmos looks even more stunning, and it surely brings a sense of awe and wonder to the world. If you were sitting out in the open field with your loved one, it is definitely worth snapping a photo of that romantic moment. However, with our current hectic lifestyles, finding a break is getting more and more difficult, so why not bring the moon to your room with the $49.95 Luminescent Moon Clock?

As the name of this timepiece suggests, this wall clock will glow in the night, sporting the face of the full moon. It will rely on the most recent glow-in-the-dark technology, allowing it to absorb enough energy during daylight hours so that it ends up giving out a soft, ethereal light in a darkened room for up to 4 hours each night. The lunar image itself has been printed to the back of the flat glass face so that there is no possibility of scratching happening. You will also be able to check out the broad impact basin of Mare Imbrium in the vicinity of 12-o’clock, the Sea of Tranquility at 3-o’clock, and the Tycho crater at 7-o’clock. Of course, for easier viewing of the time, even the clock’s hands will glow in the dark.
