New TokyoFlash Infection LED ‘Mirrored Lens’ Wrist Watch [It’s Time, Jim, But Not As We Know It]

It’s been a while since the folks over at TokyoFlash have come out with a new watch and, whilst we have been critical of some of their watches in the past, their new Infection wrist watch, which utilises a total of twenty-seven tri-coloured LEDs to convey the time in a wholly modern fashion far removed from that of traditional time pieces, is certainly as innovative as it is a head turner.

Measuring in at a 38 x 42mm, TokyoFlash’s new Infection LED wrist watch sports a mirrored crystal lens beneath which 27 red, green and yellow LEDs ‘pulsate and move like cells across the curved face to present the time from beneath the attractive mirrored mineral crystal lens’ with consist 12 red LEDs serving to convey the hour whilst eleven yellow LEDs represent the ‘progression of time’ in blocks of five minutes with four green LEDs displaying single minutes (have you got that?).

Certainly telling the time using the Infection quite as easily as you would with a standard digital or analogue wrist watch is going to take a degree of practice but, if you can learn to decipher the novel (some would say convoluted) means of representing the time and you happen to be in the market fro a digital watch that is certainly more distinctive than most (perhaps to the point of being a little too brash for our particular tastes) TokyoFlash’s Infection could be worth consideration.

Offering water resistance to 3ATM and a leather strap capable of spanning wrists up to 210mm in size, the Infection has just been made available for ¥13,900 – which equates to approximately $134 / £68 / €85 exclusive of shipping.
