Casio G-Shock GD-100 Is Easily The Brightest Kid In Its Class

By Sorinu on August 25, 2010

Waaaay back in 1992 Timex introduced their first Ironman watch with electroluminescent Indiglo backlighting and the world of watch face illumination has never looked back. But even though it provides ample illumination for an LCD display (and perfectly stealthy illumination for use in a dark theater) I guess Casio figures there’s finally room for [...]

Dot Wristwatch Lights Up With LED

By Sorinu on August 18, 2010

It’s got no clock face, much less the usual components associated with wrist-bound time telling.
But the minimalist Dot concept by Damian Cozlik, the Polish designer who dreamed up this LED illuminated piece, sure has an air of sophistication about it.
Its adjustable rubber strap, studded with holes for breathability, looks like it will fit snug [...]

By Sorinu on August 16, 2010

Remember Clocky? It was the alarm clock with a set of rubber tires that allowed it to drive off when the alarm sounded, forcing you out of bed in order to hunt it down and silence it. Well Tocky here is billed as its “tech savvy” younger brother, and instead of driving away on [...]

A watch without a face

By Sorinu on August 10, 2010

Designing a watch face is not an easy task. Do you clutter the surface with dials and drawings, or go for a minimalist look? The Mutewatch probably decided on the latter approach and took it all the way to the extreme by not having a visible face at all.
So how do you tell the [...]

Mr. Clock tells time, only when you look at it

By Sorinu on August 3, 2010

This clock is just as personal, but not in the sense that you can draw on it. As you can see in the video, the clock will only show the time when people are looking at it.
Granted, I have no idea how it knows whether or not anyone is looking at it, but it [...]

Designed by Maximilian Büsser, housed in brushed titanium and sapphire, the design of the Swiss made aeronautical watch was actually inspired by the aesthetics of jet engines. According to the maker, [...]
