Everything has its time: 10 interesting models of Geek watches over the past 10 years
This post is more like an “act of justice” in relation to prehistory, where we showed you wall models , despite the fact that you had read a great story from SLY_G years earlier. However, since he (the post) appeared in this form, I invite you to look at the curious versions of watches shown in the last 10 years. In the selection of watch-slot machine, binary, nixie on hand and another 7 non-trivial dials.
1. Nooka
Original designer watches in every sense, the philosophical idea of which is in a single universal language that could be understood by various people. An example of such a visual language and is offered in collections , which today more than 15. ')
The cost of models of the ZUB 20 COLLECTION line (in the photo) is $ 129. The watch is made of scratch-resistant mineral glass and polyurethane.
The company, founded by designer Matthew Waldman, also produces a wide range of accessories, including glasses and its own fragrances.
2. LED Binary Watch
LED binary watches are presented in a variety of dials. To find out the time, it is necessary to “correlate” the data of two strips, the upper of which means - the hours, the lower - the minutes. Interesting collections are presented in TheOne .
There are several collections in the store: Kerala Trance, Manali Kick, Gamma Ray and others. Models in the photo from the first: they are made of stainless steel and have a leather strap.
3. Mutewatch
Quite a simple watch with a permanently non-burning display and touch controls. The rectangular Mutewatch strip looks more like a stylish bracelet, not a chronograph. The cost of hours regardless of color - 199 EUR.
“Calling for time” can be done with the movement of the wrist, also, as implemented by Moto360 or, for example, W / me2. The clock is powered by a built-in battery, which must be charged periodically.
4. Reflex from Ritmo Mundo
The company introduced a kind of bracelet with 28 diodes, which show the clock in the left column, and in the right minute. The cost of hours, which page is empty on the official website, is $ 150 on Amazon .
There were 15 different colors in total, and here are some of them:
5. Kisai
The clock with the “interface” of an arcade game, to which, as the reviews claim, is easy to get used to. The time is read from left to right, and the date and month are from top to bottom, but the corridor formed from the most ordinary numbers is a little distracting.
A watch with an LCD display can display time in two colors: bright yellow or bright green (depending on the model chosen), and the watch itself is available in three shades of steel: black, white, and “rich”. On the sides are two control buttons.
For $ 35, you get an assembly kit that will help pass the evening and surprise your friends. Everything that is included in the package can be read here . In the same assembly instruction. I am not a very outstanding watchmaker, but I am sure that nothing complicated.
7. Nixie
They are wrist.
The clock is made, as EnGadget says , from the details of the old calculator.
A watch with a standard 20mm strap, a built-in battery, replaceable for several months and 15mm handsets, thanks to which the numbers are perfectly readable.
Here is the Nixie source code . Also, the store once operated from the video above.
The clock in the form of a gaming machine costs $ 49 on ThinkGeek . The joystick is decorative, asteroids denote hours and minutes, and the spacecraft - the hands of the clock. Operate on batteries, which lasts up to a year.
9. Clock keyboard
Numbers from 0 - 9 indicate time, successively blinking diodes, and "#" switches to the date.
The size of the "display" 40X46 mm, height - 10, 5 mm. They run on batteries, have a wide range of colors up to the girl’s pink, and are sold for $ 79 .
10. Green Geek Power Watch
A chemical-like watch with a green time bar. At first glance, it is unusual, but by and large not very difficult.
Left side - shows the clock. In the middle - minutes, but only tens, and then again with the same numbers, the units on the left and on the right are indicated. In order to avoid confusion, when there is an “overlap”, for example, 1:12, the diodes indicating the clock are additionally labeled “rays”. Cost $ 49 .
And today we finish the song, the lines from which gave the name of the previous compilation . Vladimir Vysotsky. A song about time (Let's lift the curtain over the edge), Radio play "Alice in Wonderland", 1976.
At this I thank you for your attention! Do not waste time.
