The Cookoo Watch




The Cookoo Watch improves on the concept set out by the Pebble e-Paper Watch. Like the Pebble Watch, it connects to smartphones (both iPhones and Androids) to provide a more convenient interaction. Although a slightly more low-key creation, the Cookoo Watch boasts Bluetooth 4.0 to ensure less battery drainage and does not require a regular charge.
Named after the cuckoo clocks that alerted people of the hour no matter where they were in a house, the Cookoo Watch does that with emails, tweets, texts and missed calls on phones. It also acts as a remote trigger for the phone’s camera, one button check-in device and lost phone finder. It was conceived by Peter Hauser.

Kisai Uzumaki Analog Watch


Adding extra function to a classic timepiece, Tokyoflash Japan has created the Kisai Uzumaki Analog Watch that beams with color. Watches are made to tell time, but are also pieces of art wrapped around the wrist.
The Kisai Uzumaki looks like a whirling vortex of colors. It features a luminous display, bright EL backlighting and reads time like a conventional analog timepiece. The name ‘Uzumaki’ is the Japanese word for whirlpool, hence its swirling design concept.
The colorful swirls aren’t just for aesthetics, they indicate the time in analog format so that a quick glance at the watch will give the time. It’s perfect for night or dark places where there’s no need to squint to tell the hour of day while time is ticking away. The hours are placed on the outside while the minutes are indicated in the inside.
The Kisai Uzumaki is 100% stainless steel and is available in black or silver with blue or green as the display.

The ‘Cypher’s Little Brother’ watch


The ‘Cypher’s Little Brother’ watch is sleek yet sly as it requires some knowledge to comprehend this intricate time piece. Unlike most watches with a big and little hand, the Cypher’s Little Brother watch concept uses its bold and mechanical-like designs to reveal the hours and minutes.
It’s a secret if you can’t read it. The hour hand is the big semi-circle and the one end in clockwise direction indicates the hour. The minute hand is the narrower bar but sometimes it’s masked by the hour hand; in that case, just add 30 minutes to the free end of the minute bar. The tiny triangles and dials surrounding the face can help.
Cypher’s Little Brother watch concept is a rendition from an initial watch called Cypher (hence, the name). Designed by Samuel Jerichow from Germany, this watch is made almost completely from matte black steel. There’s a colorful ring that lights up to give the sleek and dark watch some emphasis.
