I've wanted a cool cell phone watch for a while, but either price, availability, or practicality has kept me from the investment. However, that may soon change with the introduction of the Kempler & Strauss W Watch Phone. The unit has an affordable price ($200) and it works with AT&T and T-Mobile systems via sim card. ...

    We have discussed those cool retro nixie tube clocks on Nerd Beach before, but here is one with a high tech twist.  The nixie tube clock kit incorporates a GPS reciever to keep its time correct.  Yes, that is right, a retro nixie tube (IN-14 tubes, to be exact) clock that uses satellites in space to send out a signal in order to keep the time correct. ...

The new Corpus Clock, destined for Corpus Christi College in Cambridge, England, is a very unique and completely mechanical clock designed by inventor John Taylor.  The clock took seven years to build, and incorporates six patents.  How long will the clock run, you ask? Around 250 years, plus or minus a decade or so. ...

Crossing the line between band and timepiece, the Zub Zen Watch ($140) uses bar graphs and limited displays to show the time and related data.  While we have seen other Nooka watches that use bar graphs, this one stands out for the encased style of band.  Not to mention the drab green color, which I am sure is interesting on its own merits. ...

 Nerd Beach is obviously fond of Tokyoflash watches, just for the fact that they present common data in odd but interesting ways (not to mention that the watch can be really hard to read for anyone that does not know how to read it).  The latest is out, and it is called "Rogue". ... [More]

The Decade Clock, Designed by Arthur Yung and Clement Cheung, is a clock that is hard to read, at least until it is the right time.  The clock has the hour markings written so that there is no border to the numbers, and the hour hand completes the numbers. ... [More]

Most of the time that I've seen a spy watch in a "anywhere reasonable" price tag, it was very obvious that it was a camera and/or it had really poor capabilities.  But the video spy watch from Brando is something a bit more interesting. The camera lens in actually in the upper part of the numeral 2 above (now you see it, don't you?). ... [More]

The most unique feature about the Life clock, designed by Bertrand Planes,  is that the dial is marked with years, not hours.  The clock mechanism has been slowed down 61,320 times in order to count those years on the face of the clock. I am a little disappointed that the clock only shows 82 years, but maybe it can be considered a line in the sand (or on the wall) to beat. ... [More]
