Hasta La Gadget!

The latest TokyoFlash concept watch from UK designer Peter Fletcher is one of his coolest yet. The Hayabusa LED watch features a case inspired by the Spartan armor of the same name from Halo.

The helmet-shaped case has an EL-backlit LCD that looks like the helmet’s visor, while watch is covered in a finish that looks like armor. Though I have to say it looks more like Mjolnir armor to be as it’s not pointy like the Hayabusa armor in the game. Still, it’s totally cool.

What I really love about the design of this watch is that the display is surprisingly easy to read. Twevle dots in the middle indicate hours, while the shapes that flank each side are just distorted digits for the minutes.

While those not in the know will have no clue as to what time it is, you’ll be able to tell time at a glance – hopefully before some Elite tags you with a sticky grenade.

Halo fans, If you like what you see, head on over to the TokyoFlash design blog and show your support for the Hayabusa watch. With enough votes, TokyoFlash could very well put the design into production.

I am quite sure that many people have already watched The Matrix which rolled out at the end of the previous century, having turned into a cult film with a sequel and subsequently, third film which had plenty of snazzy special effects, although the explanation in the story has proved to be as confounding as ever even until today. I guess it makes sense then, if the $168.99 TokyoFlash Kisai Online timepiece was part of the Matrix world, especially since it comes with an extremely unconventional way of telling the time, that to the untrained eye, it is seeing nothing more than just some random lines moving around.

With the TokyoFlash Kisai Online, it will come with a built-in accelerometer, so that it knows the exact moment when you turn your wrist. Doing so would see the lines fall away, allowing you to tell the time as it is right there and then. How is that for a genius product? The TokyoFlash Kisai Online comes with a black steel case and strap with natural LCD face, and it will take some practice before you are able to tell the time expertly, so do expect a learning curve attached to this cool clock. One thing’s for sure, once you have mastered reading the time on it, your friends would have regretted taking the blue pill in the past.

If you have always wanted to have a cool looking timepiece that is extremely difficult to read, then you would not be able to go wrong with Tokyoflash’s collection of timepieces. Their latest addition to the collection would be the $178.99 TokyoFlash Kisai Adjust, where it will boast of a digital triangle time readout. You can opt to tell the time in either a horizontal or vertical display, depending on your cup of tea, and there are also half a dozen LED colors to choose from, with the option for multi-color transition thrown into the mix along as well.

Just how does the TokyoFlash Kisai Adjust work? Well, it will be able to show off the time in a non-stop array of changing mosaic of LED triangles. You can opt to have it shown off in either 12 or 24 hour modes, and some might say that the vertical mode makes it easier to read the time compared to the horizontal mode. Even more, when night falls, the Tokyoflash Kisai Adjust would feature a tiny fish that swims across your wrist, accompanied by random sparkles for that added touch of uniqueness that only Japan can offer. It will also be water resistant up to 3ATM, and has a stainless steel case, strap, and clasp.

The folks over at Tokyoflash are extremely famous for their range of timepieces that sometimes, do require plenty of brain power in order to decipher the particular time. Of course, some of us would want a simple analog or digital timepiece so that we are able to know just what time it is at that particular moment with but a glance, instead of having to use our brains any more than we need to. This time around, we have the 2011 version of the Kisai Console watch getting a makeover, where it will now feature a wooden touch. The new 2013 Kisai Console watch will come with the original watchface from 2011 which still resembles that of a futuristic looking control panel, with the only difference being that of its steel case as well as strap having been replaced by a handcrafted sandalwood bracelet in either red that is accompanied by green LEDs, or in a hue of an extremely dark brown that will feature green or blue watchfaces.

Assuming you do not mind wearing one of these puppies, it will cost you $109 a pop as part of a promotional price, at least until this coming November 14th. Any takers so far? There aren’t too many days before time runs out and you will have to pay more afterwards.

Normally, when it comes to timepieces, most of us would eventually arrive at a point in our lives where we splurge a wee bit of dough that will certainly go some way in making ourselves look good in front of the mirror. In such cases, the watch would be made out of stainless steel and other precious metals, with those who have deeper pockets featuring precious gems embedded within to boot. Having said that, Tokyoflash has churned out weird looking timepieces in the past that does require a fair amount of brain power in deciphering the current time. Their latest effort arrives in the form of the Maru, which happens to look a whole lot more natural.

Bear in mind that the inner facing-hand would still let you know what hour it is, while the outward pointing-hand is associated with the current minute. The Maru will not be powered by termites running on a treadmill within, but will instead continue to rely on a standard battery. While it might feature a wooden band and case, there are still metal bits and pieces within. Those who are interested can pick up the Tokyoflash Maru for $99 a pop, which is a promotional price for the next couple of days. [Product Page]
