Back to the Future Flux Capacitor Watch

Posted on by

flux capacitor watch Back to the Future Flux Capacitor Watch
You don’t need to be Huey Lewis to be singing about going back in time. You don’t even need to be The News. You just need to be wearing this Back to the Future Flux Capacitor Watch. Modeled after Doc Brown’s flux capacitor, this watch takes it out of the DeLorean and puts it on your wrist. It’s made of stainless steel, just like a DeLorean. Unlike a DeLorean it won’t time travel if you hit 88mph. It does have a “time travel” mode though.

Press the button to activate “time travel” mode and the watch goes haywire, the Flux Capacitor starts fluxing, and the time circuit displays a random date. We’re pretty sure you’ll still be in the present time but check your surroundings just in case you’ve gone back to your parents’ prom or something. Otherwise the bottom just shows the current boring date.

If you actually did want to use this watch to tell time (and that’s kind of the point of watches, right?) you need to do some counting- press the button and the Flux lights up 3 times, with the number of lights for the hours, then minutes by 10 then single minutes. So for 9:38 it will light up 9 lights, 3 lights, then 8 lights, then repeat. Math was never Marty McFly’s strong suit anyway.

This Watch Looks Like a Nuclear Reactor Control Panel

radioactive watch This Watch Looks Like a Nuclear Reactor Control Panel
Danger! Tokyoflash’s latest watch, the Kisai Radioactive looks like something you’d in a nuclear power plant. It has a bold retro style with flashing lights and curved lines and the nuclear radiation symbol. Yet it’s still a watch and it’s pretty simple to see the time once you know what you’re looking for:

Easy enough, you don’t need to be nuclear scientist to figure out the time. The stainless steel case gives it a polished industrial look that complements the design that looks like it would be something that a Bond villain would be controlling. Insert your own clever double entendre right about here friends.

With a watch like this with the bells and whistles and flashing lights (you can program it to flash up every 15 minutes during the evening hours if you want to…or not) it uses up the battery faster than a boring ol’ non-flashing watch. No worries though, the battery is rechargeable via USB and one charge is good for 30 days of use so you don’t have to change the battery. Win. Look, it’s even good for guys and girls:

Wow, double blue steel right there. The watch has an alarm, adjustable strap and is water resistant. Plus it’s way fun to pretend you’re saving the earth from atomic meltdown daily. Or causing it, right Homer?

Moon Sun Earth Clocks

moon earth sun clock Moon Sun Earth Clocks
This piece of art might look like a Spring colored egg or some sort of vision test but it’s actually a working clock. The Moon and Earth or Sun and Moon clocks tell the time in a simple beautiful way. The circular color fields rotate around the white center, changing the the middle color as they mix in different ratios. The punched holes in each represent the hour and minute hands if you’re one of those people who wants to know the time on their clocks. Otherwise just enjoy the show. Designed by Naoya Matsuo.

Time for Math: Euclid’s Proposition 1 Watch

euclids proposition 1 watch Time for Math: Euclids Proposition 1 Watch
Math geeks need to know what time it is too. It all adds up to Euclid’s Proposition 1 Watch, Time for Math: Euclids Proposition 1 Watch the timepiece that demonstrates the mathematical postulate twice a day. In case you’re rusty on your ancient Greek mathematicians, Euclid’s Proposition states that any straight line can be used to make an equilateral triangle. Twice a day the “straight line” equilateral triangle (which is the second hand) falls perfectly in between the two circles (minute and hour hands) to prove the postulate. Yeah I don’t know how that works exactly either, but you math geeks and your math geeky friends out there probably do.

Tokyoflash Console Watch Looks like a Control Panel

tokyoflash console Tokyoflash Console Watch Looks like a Control Panel
We’re really vibing off the clean retro look of this new Tokyoflash Console Acetate watch. The bright graphics kind of look like a 1960′s era control panel from some James Bond underground headquarters. Or like the dashboard from a Delorean maybe. Obvious good looks aside, this watch has a less than obvious but easy to figure out way to tell time. The hour is lit up as one of the top numbers in the hexagons, the bottom loop shows you the minutes by 5 and then you add the bars on the left for the remaining minutes. As usual, I’ve probably butchered the explanation- apologies.

So the first watch the time is 7:33 and this one above is 4:50. Easy enough. The strap is made of a tough white acetate, the case of stainless steel with a smoked mineral crystal lens. The watch is USB chargeable and a 3.5 hour charge powers your watch for a month. It even has automatically programmed animation- every 15 minutes between 6p and midnight the LED’s light up and move around the display in a cool pattern (you can turn that off if you want). Comes in either blue or green LED. Go back to the future!

jigglit Jigglit is Like a Magic 8 Ball Watch
Have all the answers to your most burning questions right on your wrist with the Jigglit. It’s like a digital watch that’s also a magic 8-ball. Just ask the Jigglit a question, then shake your wrist to hear one of 23 different answers (which is 3 more than a typical magic 8 ball btw). The Jigglit was invented by Cole Schneider when he was just 16. Here’s a demo video:

As shown in the video, the random answers are also displayed on the screen. It comes in a whole bunch of colors as you can see above. The Jigglit doesn’t just look like a watch, it actually is a watch too. A watch that has all the answers. It recharges via a USB cord.

Retro Arcade Watch: It’s Pew O’Clock

arcade wrist watch Retro Arcade Watch: Its Pew OClock
You can’t take it with you- wait- actually you can. The Classic Arcade Wristwatch Retro Arcade Watch: Its Pew OClock is like having a miniature arcade cabinet right on your wrist. It doesn’t actually play the game of “Galactic Defense” but nobody has to know that because when you press the button it makes the appropriate “pew pew” sound. It also, like all good watches, tells the time:
classic arcade watch Retro Arcade Watch: Its Pew OClock
Those space rocks are the hour and minute hands while the spaceship is the second hand. Besides just making arcade game sounds, the button also makes the watch light up. The joystick does nothing but it looks good. Walk around like you’re the geek version of the Jolly Green Giant (fun fact: he is actually known for strapping arcade games to his wrist in his off hours). Pew pew.

Tokyoflash X Acetate Tells the Time in an X

kisai x Tokyoflash X Acetate Tells the Time in an X
This fantastic new acetate variant of the Tokyoflash Kisai X Watch may look like a bunch of random lines in an X form but really it’s telling the time quite simply. Here’s the part where we try to explain it and fail but we’ll give it a shot: each quadrant of the X actually has one of the 4 digits of the time written out. Huh?
kisai x closeup Tokyoflash X Acetate Tells the Time in an X
The display might be slightly cryptical but the video below might explain it better. Or the link to the product site itself above or below. We’ll just stick to the facts here: the watch has a glossy white acetate finish, the time and date, built-in alarm, a stainless steel case with a smoked mineral crystal lens. It also has an animation that makes the display spin every 10 minutes.

Really cool looking watch, as is par for the course from Tokyoflash. The battery is USB chargeable, so you never have to change it- there’s a spot to plug in a charging cable right on the side. Boom. Neat. X marks the spot.

Ring Clock

ring clock Ring Clock
Want to have the time right at your fingertips but don’t want to wear a watch? Meet the Ring Clock, a combination of a ring and a watch. So maybe it’s not right at your fingertips but close enough. Designed by Gusztav Szikszai, the stainless steel ring consists of an inner ring that sits against your finger and a pair of outer rings that display the time.
ring clock on finger Ring Clock
When you rotate the top ring, the LED’s light up to display the hours (in 24 hour format) and the minutes. After one minute the LED’s turn off for power savings. It charges up in a unique way too, wirelessly on a futuristic looking base. Just put it on the base and it charges (do it while you’re in the shower since it’s water resistant but not waterproof).
ring clock charger Ring Clock
The battery should be good for 1 week of usage, if you check it 15 times a day. Or one day if you check it 105 times (although maybe you should check yourself if you need to know the time 105 times per day). This crowdsourced project was well over 100% funded and thus made it into production. You can pre-order now for $250 for delivery this Summer. (via iihih)
