Hasta La Gadget!

Want a watch that prevents passers-by from checking the time on your dime? Buy a Tokyoflash. The company’s latest timepiece is the Kisai Maze, which hides the info in the negative space of a maze that’s only readable with some practice. Available in stainless steel or IP Black, there’s an EL backlight to let you annoy the elderly at night and you can watch it being demonstrated after the break. If you snap one up in the next 48 hours, it’ll cost $99 (€77, £61), but hurry, because after Thursday morning the price leaps to $139 (€108, £86) — so now’s the time to learn how to be ruthlessly punctual.

If you want a different timepiece for your home, you might want to consider the £799.99 Qlocktwo. Sure, it is not a cheap purchase at all, where it comes in black, lime, purple and red color options, but you can be sure that this is going to be a conversation starter for whoever drops by your place. This gorgeous timepiece will let you tell the time via an elegant typographical display, where its minimalist design will show off the current time via statements instead of two hands or some numbers. For example, we are looking at time statements such as ‘it is half past nine’ and ‘it is twenty five to twelve’, where the intervening minutes will be indicated by a light in each corner.

The clock body itself is made out of quality hardwood with a high strength, glossy acrylic front plate that will come in the colors mentioned above. It is completely adjustable, where the Qlocktwo sports an automatic light sensor as well as multiple brightness settings. Not only that, you can also choose to select the option to show seconds and the date. The available languages include German, English, French, Italian, Dutch, Russian, Danish, Swedish, Arabic, Swiss German and Spanish.

The latest fan-submitted timepiece from Tokyoflash bundles together 10 distinct lines to tell the time. The Kisai Online’s built-in accelerometer means as you rotate the watch to view, an otherwise cryptic mess of lines transforms into something (a little) more readable. Toting the watchmaker’s typical always-on display, the watch can be picked up in a choice of black and silver-finish stainless steel bodies, alongside three LCD colors; natural, blue and red. The limited edition design is available direct from the source link below — but be ready to part with $170 for the privilege.
