Everybody loves a challenge, but when it takes 10 minutes to work out the time you probably have the wrong watch.  However for the sake of geeky-ness and pure novelty value I will continue and introduce the “Fire,” the new watch from Tokyoflash.

And flash it most definitely is.  It has a sleek, modern and almost minimalistic design, or at least it is until you press the buttons and the concealed red, blue and yellow LEDs spring to life.  This is where your problems begin as the lights arrange themselves in a way in which it is possible to tell the time, just not easy.

Reminiscent of binary watches, each LED indicates a particular time, with yellow for hours, red for 10s of minutes and the green for singular minutes. Obviously, this is for novelty value and definitely not for ergonomics, but it definitely does not lack on aesthetics either, and is a pretty nice watch that is quite light as well.

In conclusion: A watch that will impress, especially if you can read it fluently and no one else can.  It also looks pretty nice and will not look out of place in most situations.  Price-wise, no details have been released, but expect it to be around $100, which is fairly expensive for a watch you find it hard to read, but it is definitely worth it for the style!
