TokyoFlash does it again with a $120 design-watch with binary and standard time-telling modes. It’s odd, but you’ll get used to it.

Tibida expresses three functions through its name; time, binary and date. Created using 42 white LEDs, this design offers three conceptually different ways to tell the time; hour-centric, minute-centric and binary.

Combining a stainless steel case and clasp with a mineral crystal lens and polyurethane band, Tibida is available in four fashionable styles; polished stainless steel case with either a red, blue or black face or IP black case with an orange face.

Hour-centric mode displays the hour in digits on the lower display and minutes on the upper display, each LED representing a progression of five minutes. Perfect for when you need to know the approximate time quickly.

Minute-centric mode displays the exact minutes in digits on the lower display with the upper display representing the progression of hours using twelve LEDs.

Binary is presented on the upper display only. The top line of six LEDs indicating the hour, the second line indicating minutes. To read the time in binary, refer to the example below. Binary is read from the right, the first lit LED representing the number 1. This is then doubled; 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32, a combination of these numbers representing the time in hours and minutes.

Another day, another TokyoFlash watch. This one lets you measure BPMs while spinning hot wax at da club. Useful? Not sure. Fun? Absolutely.

I never loved TokyoFlash watches — they were usually too gimmicky — but this one looks like a great design. You tell the time using the two rotating polygons and it comes in blue and orange resin. How much? $123 plus shipping, which isn’t to shabby for some real Tokyo-inspired time-telling.

Truly one of the nicest watches available at Tokyoflash.

Another day, another fancy pants watch from TokyoFlash. Man, this one is a peach.

The Biohazard watch uses an advanced color LCD display to simulate the effect you might see on Mr Spocks tri-corder or in many Science Fiction films. The readout, in fact, tells the time by counting the colored segments.

A press of the button sends the watch into scan mode and the various panels & readouts animate as if scanning the area for life forms. After a few seconds the results display the time, but the animation sequence can be skipped if desired with a second press of the button.

Another day, another TokyoFlash watch. This is 1.4-ounce Retsu. When you press a button, the lights race up and blink the time, one digit at a time. It costs $130 and your pride, so be ready to cough it up.
