This watch called the Kisai Denshoku watch from Tokyo Flash tells time in a new way. The unusual watch displays the time using twelve light bars. The bars light up three different times when a button is pressed. The first time through the lights display the hour. This is followed by groups of ten minutes and then seconds.
Orange acrylic bars emerge through the face like neon lights, achieving a perfect balance with the custom made strap, made from aluminum and inlayed with stainless steel. The hairline brushed finish on the solid aluminum case captures the quality of the design.
Twelve light bars present the time in a simple, easy to read format. Press the button and the LEDs behind the acrylic diffuse and illuminate the bars three times. First hours are presented, then groups of ten minutes, then single minutes. The speed of movement can be accelerated by pressing the button again. To find out more about how to read the time, take a look at the interactive manual above.
Denshoku means illumination in Japanese. When the animation mode is activated, Denshoku’s light bars illuminate vertically once every minute for twelve minutes after the time is shown.
This design also features an energy saving mode allowing you to control the LED brightness to lengthen battery life and is available with a soft black or bright silver alumite finish.
