Tokyoflash Kisai Tenmetsu Watch Stops Traffic!
Tokyoflash Japan is definitely on a roll this holiday shopping season! Now they have announced the availability of the Kisai Tenmetsu watch, a tri-colored LED watch with red, yellow and green traffic lights–er, LEDs!
With either a black or silver aluminum face and band, upon the wearer’s press of a button, each watch flashes its LED sequence to display the current hour, minute(s), month and (in that order). The time is displayed in a 24-hour (i.e., “military”) format, with red LEDs equaling increments of 15 units (such as hours at or after 3 PM or minutes), yellow LEDs representing units of 5, and green LEDs displaying individual units of 1. One or two red lights flash at the top of the watch to indicate whether or not you are looking at the time (1 red light) or date (two red lights). You can additionally configure an “animation mode” to control the light show that follows the display of the time and date.
The Kisai Tenmetsu is available from Tokyoflash.com. Price (at the time of this posting): $257.32 (U.S.).*
*Thankfully, the shirt the model is wearing on Tokyoflash’s Tenmetsu product page is sold separately!
Frak! New Tokyoflash Kisai Denshoku Is Bursting With Cylon-y Goodness!
Resembling the visor of an “old-school” cylon centurion from “Battlestar Galactica”, the Denshoku watch has just been released under Tokyoflash Japan’s new Kisai brand.
- Tokyoflash Kisai Denshoku watch
Available in a black (shown above) or silver aluminum case with an aluminum/stainless steel band, the design of this watch is said by its manufacturer to have been inspired by neon-lit buildings in Shinjuku, Japan. The current time can be displayed across 12 LED lights on the case of the watch. To achieve this, one must press a button which will first cause the lights to flash on 3 times, then they will come on again to display (first) the current hour, then the minutes in tens (i.e., 10 through 50), and finally, the remaining individual minutes. The Denshoku also features an “animation” mode in which the LEDs light up in sequence once each minute for 12 minutes after the time is shown. The brightness and speed of the orange LEDs can also be changed via the watch case button.
The Tokyoflash Denshoku is available from Tokyoflash.com. Price (at the time of this posting): $247.72 (US).
