Tokyoflash Concept Clocks Look Like Fun But Make My Brain Hurt
6:40AM Gizmodo US Edition | Tokyoflash revealed some concept clocks that will either delight or depress you (say, if you still can’t figure out what time it is after staring at the damn thing for 10 minutes). More »

This Is Like the Millionth Tokyoflash Watch, but I Still Love It.
1:00PM Adrian Covert | At some point, Tokyoflash watches will lose their charm altogether on account of oversaturation in an already niche market. Until then, we can admire their Hanko watch, which I can’t seem to pull my eyes away from. More »

Tokyoflash Denshoku Bars It All To Tell Time
7:00PM Elaine Chow | Oh Tokyoflash, how you challenge our perceptions of what a watch should be. The company’s newest item, the Kisai Denshoku, looks more like some kind of sound meter, with orange neon bars on an aluminium faceplate. Denshoku is actually one of the easier Tokyoflash watches to read, not that anyone who actually buys these things would use them to tell time in the first place. More »

Tokyoflash Fire Watch Looks Hot, But Useless For Telling Time
3:00PM Gizmodo US Edition | Now that more or less everyone uses mobile phones to tell the time, watches have been relegated to mere decorative pieces. At least that’s what it seems like with Tokyoflash’s watches, which look great but are nigh-impossible to read. It’s latest watch, Fire, is a beautiful streamlined little thing that wraps around your wrist and flashes multi-coloured LED lights to tell the time. Each hole indicates one unit of time—yellow LEDs are the hours, red LEDs show every ten minutes and green LEDs show single minutes–not that you’d ever take the effort needed to figure that out. The cost for this man jewelry? $US130. [TokyoFlash] More »

Void v.01 LCD Watch: Tokyo Flash For Minamalists
4:45AM John Mahoney | My kind of aesthetic: these half-LCD, half brushed metal watches that get the tech-futurism across without bashing you over the head with binary-encoded time, 60 LEDs, etc. They’re available in four colours on Etsy, the eBay for homemade goods, directly from the designer in a run of 500 for $US185 each, which isn’t bad at all.
