Turn Your iPod Nano Into a Touchscreen Watch
The new iPod Nanos look like they were literally designed to be modified as a wristwatch. The tiny square shaped touchscreen device would make such an awesome watch that County Comm tried attaching the Nano to one of their standard 22mm watch band and what do ya know? It worked out perfectly. The watch band fits perfectly through the Nano’s clip, yet is thin enough so that you can unclip the Nano at will whenever you want. The only thing... Continue reading
Watch Made Using Ash From Eyjafjallajökull Volcano
Romain Jerome has been known to peddle one-of-the-kind very limited edition watches, including the Day&Watch Watch, that despite its $300,000 price tag, sold out in a mere 48 hours, and the Titanic Watch, made using actual remains from the tragically fated White Star Line ship. And you can’t expect anything less sensational from the Eyjafjallajökull-DNA Watch. The dial for the DNA is made using actual ash from the Icelandic Eyjafjallajökull volcano, the same one which has caused so much drama... Continue reading

Gorgeous Mystery and Moontek Watches
These gorgeous futuristic watches by designer Jacques Fournier caught my eye because of their modern style and sleek finish. The Mystery features four different time zones on four separate face plates while the Moontek is slightly more conventional, featuring a gorgeous Tourbillon and a jumping hour feature inspired by space travel, a feature everybody will need when we’re all evacuated to the moon because of the radiological fallout.
Watch / Cigarette Lighter Hybrid From the 80s
They just don’t make ‘em like they used too. Check out this awesome Watch / Cigarette Lighter from some forgotten year of the 1980s. Novelty watch collector Shea Connolly says this is his favorite watch in his collection, and I don’t blame him. If I spotted a gadget like this at a garage sale like he did, I’d likely poop myself. Just straight up shit my pants. And then I’d leave empty-handed because I’m a broke blogger. Link

The clock measures days, months and hours rather than minutes and seconds, so you might have to strain a bit to notice any movement. Sounds like a blast. Totally not a waste of time, at all. If by some inconceivable (you keep saying that word. I don’t... Continue reading

Are you more of a “take action” sort of person, rather than a tight-scheduled numbers guy? The Average Day Watch, designed by Crispin Jones, is crafted for people just like you, who just don’t find much need for numbers in their life. Replacing the traditional digits are an assortment of daily routines. Just after noon? Then you know it’s time to eat!

What time is it? You don’t know? Sir, by all accounts, I noticed the wristwatch on you possess. Surely it can give a man something as simple as the time of day. It can’t? Why not? Ahh, yes!
