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).
