Great, Now I'm Cross-Eyed: Tokyoflash's Latest

January 25, 2012 / bling bling bling bling being on time ain't a thing, eye candy, eye poison, eye strain, geek couture, hey buddy you got the time? "sure check out my watch" screw it -- i don't care that bad weirdo, optical illusion, show-off, telling time, that hurt, time? where we're going we don't need time, tokyoflash, watch, wow, wrist candy

This is Tokyoflash's latest design, the $179 Kisai Optical Illusion. Clever name. The time is always visible by training your eyes to pick out the bars that are traveling in the opposite direction as all the others. Oooooooor by cheating and pushing the touchscreen so the rest just disappear. You see the picture there? All three examples show the same time, 05:36. I stared at it for a solid five minutes like a f***ing Magic Eye book and was convinced it read 'KILL YOUR NEIGHBOR' before I was finally able to see it. "It actually does say kill your neighbor." I knew it! *running out with kitchen knife*

Hit the jump for a couple more pics, a few examples of different times and the answers, and a video of the watch in action.

    Typing Time: 'Click Keypad' Computer Watches
    December 13, 2011
    This is the $90 Click Keypad watch. It was made to look like the number pad of a computer keyboard and tells the time by blinking the corresponding numbers in order. Plus you can actually click the keys if you want to pretend like you're hacking an ATM or something to impress... / Continue →
  • Shadow Optical Illusion: LIES, ALL LIES!!
    August 18, 2011
    This is an optical illusion being performed by an overturned trash can casting a shadow on a checkered picnic blanket, making it a far superior magician than you could ever be. That's pretty much all I have to say about this. Kidding, I actually have a grande finale planned. ... / Continue →

  • I'd wear the shit out of that. I actually can read this one. Usually I don't have a damn clue what the tokyoflash watches say.

    Also, you should just give me one. I'd take a picture of me topless with "I WUB GW" on my tits (with the watch on).

  • Screen back is far to thick, the concept looks more balanced. Concept is amazing, actual no thanks at £120

  • NoveltyFishHead

    hrmm...so it seems that I'm able to see it. Cheat: Look in middle & give me several pounds.

  • We can haz givawae? O_o

  • Woah! Makes your eyes go a little funny, but I like it.

  • I could never do that magic picture books, so I guess this watch isn't for me.

  • I'd be happy to take this off of your hands (wrist) if you didn't want it... just saying

  • Shane Anderson

    Do i hear another... Contest Giveaway Extrava-Bonanza?!?

  • Whoa trippy. I couldn't see sh*t but then I crossed my eyes juuuust a little bit and blurred them and the numbers pop right out at you.

    I take it "Kisai" is Japanese for "epileptic fit".

  • I would get it for the people who always ask you the time. Then you show them your watch and then  see what kind of expression they give.

  • It reminded me of this: 
    http://3dimka.deviantart.com/a... which is how I got away with playing Tetris at the office.

  • why would anyone want this... first btw.. must take some getting use to.
