Time out: Tokyoflash's cryptic watches (pictures)
Time is boring if it's conventional. Crave pays a visit to the watchmaker, which mixes puzzles with design, yielding some truly unique wrist bling.
Kisai Rorschach
Japanese boutique watch designer Tokyoflash has been creating bizarre timepieces for a decade. With a flair for design and displaying the time in unexpected, and often novel and head-scratching ways, the company has built a base of fans around the world, even crowdsourcing concepts on its blog.
One of its latest productions is the Kisai Rorschach, a concept originally submitted to the blog by a German designer. It's the first Tokyoflash creation to use an electronic-paper display, and shows the time as increasingly complex inkblots that reference the famous Rorschach psychology test. Can you tell what time it is?
