Ah. Everything that resembles compact cassette tapes looks like a winner in my eyes. This chunky cassette tape watch in shock-resistant stainless steel uses the two spools to tell the time. Neat indeed.
(It would probably go well with your cassette tape USB flash drive, cassette tape MP3 player and luxurios cassette tape belt buckle in 18K gold too.)

Ooookay, I’m back from my 3,5 month long vacation in Asia! Let’s start things off with a new (and odd) Japanese timepiece from Tokyo Flash called Infection. Besides the expected innovative way of telling the time it sports a pulsating display with 27 tri-colored LEDs, a mirrored face and a leather band with a stainless steel clasp. Wa
“Twelve red LEDs indicate hours, eleven yellow LEDs represent the progression of time in groups of five minutes and four green LEDs show single minutes.”

Another nice video watch here, this one sports 2 GB of storage, a crisp and bright OLED screen with 128×128 resolution, video and image playback as well as audio (mp3/wma), earphone jack, equalizer with six modes and a built-in microphone for voice memos.
The battery allows 7 hours of audio playback and 4 hours for video and you recharge it through USB.
Nooka-designer Mark Matthew Waldman just announced three upcoming Nooka watch models. These camo models are called COTN (Creatures Of The Night) and will be available in Urban Jungle Grey, Balmy Army Green and Crooklyn Remix colors - all sporting a stainless steel case back, polyurethane band and backlight.
The Nooka COTN watches has the Zen-H face so you tell the time by reading the bars; the two at the top indicate the hour and the two lower indicate minutes and seconds
The price is estimated to $250 when they’re launched in January 2008.

Here’s the Vulcania, a steampunk concept watch designed by Fabrice Gonet and made into reality by HD3 Complication. Don’t get your hopes up on getting one of these titanium and platinum Jules Verne and submarine influenced masterpieces though, there’s only eleven made (which in turn indicates a pretty impressive price tag, sigh).
Read on for a close-up image, there’s some incredible details on this watch:
The Wi-Fi Detecting Watch is able to tell you the wi-fi signal strength by the push of a button, eliminating the need to unpack the laptop to check if you can connect or not. The signal strength is shown as a number between 0 to 8 so you know if you need to move closer to the access point or not.
Besides the signal feature it sports a stainless steel case, rubber band, daily/single alarm, countdown timer and EL backlight.

I’ve covered alot of clocks and watches lately, but this is the Phosphor Ana-Digi, one of the first (affordable) watches to feature an E Ink display. This means that you get regular, analog hands and the possibility to change the background and dials by a simple press of a button. Go from a standard, minimalistic digital display on black background to a white background with numbers, etc. Pretty neat.
“The watch dial itself utilizes a revolutionary E Ink electronic paper display that possesses a paper-like, high contrast appearance in any mode.”
The Phosphor Ana-Digi is available on pre-order now, both the leather and polyurethane band models costs $250.
