Flash In The Pants

I know I'm mixing metaphors a little with the title of this post, but I have done so many and it is hard to come up with new titles every time. Anyway, I was trying to catch up on some e-mails this afternoon and I noticed I had received one on Sunday from Tokyo Flash about two new watches they have available. First up is the Limited Ed. Fusion DT1 Watch [pictured, left]. This is a cool looking watch that is a fusion (hence the name) of a LED and LCD watch. Apparently it is very easy to read, with the dots around the outside ring of the watch representing the hours, the inner ring represents the minutes, and the dots in the center count up and down for the seconds. The Fusion also displays the date and has an alarm function as well as icons for all of the functions and different light up patterns which display a different light sequence each time you press one of the buttons on the watch. The watch comes in silver and black and costs only eighty-five bucks.

The other watch they e-mailed me about is not quite as interesting or remarkable as the Fusion Watch. It is the Limited Ed. Infinity Optics Ultra-Violet Watch [pictured, right]. The concept behind this watch is an infinity mirror, in which an image is repeated in the mirror inifinitely, d'uh. The watch crystal is a one-way mirror, so the electroluminescent hands and hour markings are reflected infinitely into the face of the watch. The watch also contains a mini-blacklight to illuminate the hands and face of the watch in dark conditions, like at a club where you want to impress some girl you just met who will think you are a total stud for showing off your cool watch. Trust me, it works. The Ultra-Violet watch runs only fifty-nine bucks, so even if you don't impress that hotty at the bar, you won't be dropping a fortune showing off for her.

Also, props and a big shout out to Jay "The Jenius" Melamed over at www.kvetchthis.com for showing his love for the Limited Ed.
