Fossil Frank Gehry Watch

Fossil Frank Gehry Watch

If geeking out on the details is your thing, this Frank Gehry- designed Negative/Positive Display watch may be right up your alley. The watch screen features the architect’s own script, displaying time in shorthand: “half past 11,” “6 til 1,” etc. Another neat design quirk about this watch, which we originally saw back in January, is the positive display during the day, which automatically switches to a negative display during the night.

Nixon Dictator Watch

Nixon Dictator Watch

This Nixon Dictator Watch fulfills the childhood fantasy of always having pre-recorded messages on hand for ready-made punchlines. The watch allows you to save up to eight recordings (3.5 minutes total) for the kinds of non-stop pranks that only a geeky kid-at-heart can truly appreciate.

Mr.Gadget 1GB USB 2.0 Executive Watch

Mr. Gadget 1GB USB 2.0 Executive Watch

The name of this 1GB USB 2.0 Watch says it all: Mr. Gadget. If you see yourself as the gadget guy who has a data storage device on him at all times—undoubtedly carrying code or an archive of engadget podcasts—this is the watch for you.

Suunto X9 GPS Watch

Suunto X9 GPS Watch

If you could have one watch on your arm when you’re dropped on a desert island, the Suunto X9 might be the one you’d pick. Equipped with GPS navigation, a compass, a chronograph, an altimeter, and a barometer, this watch has pretty much every form of data reception you would need to successfully survive the wild.

Stanley Expandable Ruler Watch

Stanley Expandable Ruler Watch

Sure, if you’re on the construction site and need to be talking regular measurements, you’ve probably got a tape measure attached to your belt. But do you really want to pull out the tape measure every time you want to take finite measurements? The Stanley Ruler Watch is a bit more reasonable for taking on inches or centimeters.

Midas Remote Control Watch

Midas Remote Control Watch

Another watch that channels the inner prankster in such a geeky way, the Midas Remote Control Watch is a universal remote on your wrist, an item we came across last year. The watch controls volume, channel, mute, and power on “every make/model of TV and cable receiver imaginable,” making for endless hours of enjoyment that comes from annoying your friends, bartenders, or anyone glued to the television.

Vestal Microdat Watch

Vestal Microdat Watch

You have the vaguest of images in your head about a watch worn by an extra in Blade Runner—someone who spent mere seconds in front of the camera, searing a prop watch into your mind’s eye for decades to come. We like to think that this Vestal Microdat Watch is that timepiece.

High Frequency LED Watch

High Frequency LED Watch

The height of geek chic, this watch requires explanation to even figure out how it displays time. The Equalizer High Frequency watch LED display mimics an equalizer, pushing a row of lights up and then down (as would sound in an equalizer), ultimately leaving only two dots to indicate the hour and minute. The time is displayed for five seconds before the process starts over again.

Tag Heuer Monaco Sixty-Nine

Tag Heuer Monaco Sixty Nine

The best chance you’ll ever find to wear the proud tradition of Tag Heuer while simultaneously dismissing the conventional dial form in favor of the digital, the Monaco Sixty-Nine [this is a concept watch that will not be available for sale until the end of the year and will retail for $6,900] blends classic and contemporary with a flip. The watch features two faces—one with a standard two-hand dial form (with a third interior second hand) and the other with a digital readout—that can be flipped for two unique looks.

Cathode Corner Nixie Watch

Cathode Corner Nixie Watch

This one has OG (Original Geek) written all over it. The Cathode Corner Nixie Watch incorporates two nixie tubes for a two-digit display that features an hour/minute/second sequence. This watch was productdose favorite from late last year, a timepiece that blends mid-20th century tech with timelessly geeky flavor.

Inspired by water sports, the watch incorporates designs based on naval elements such as an anchor, winch or a chain-rocket. The case locks up a tourbillon design that is not only pleasing to eye but adds to the accuracy of time keeping in this premium Swiss made wristwatch.

Available in platinum or 3 gold, the Cabestan is limited to just 135 pieces worldwide and is priced at a whopping 200,000 GBP. Now that should deter the riff-raff from a purchase!

In 2001, The firm created the Opus range; the concept behind this line of designer watches, to create an exceptional time piece each year in partnership with one of Switzerland’s most gifted independent horologists.

This year sees the arrival of the Opus 7, a stunning time piece that opts for a very clever mechanism to display the time. Alternative time displays are by no means a new gimmick for H.W. each Opus has its own unique time display, Opus 4 even displays the time on both sides.

The Opus 7, co designed by Andreas Strehler, is a mechanical, manually winding watch made from rhodium-plated white gold. The diameter of the case is 45mm and there are a total of 34 jewels throughout. The time is displayed by alternating dials/cogs that change by pushing the crown. The first push shows hours, the second push, minutes and the third push enables a power saving mode that extends battery life by 60 hours.

What is especially clever about this display is that, due to the nature of the alternating arms, the time can not be told from just one glance. If your wrist happens to be snapped in a photo or video the time you were captured will not be apparent. A great idea for those who have the chance of being caught out in their secret affairs! Whilst this may seem like a small niche in the market, it doesn’t really matter as there are only 50 available with a price tag of 50,000 GPB.

It’s high time that high tech met high fashion, and what better place for them to meet than your wrist? Brushed stainless steel watch with matte black face and cool LEDs display the time in binary format. Top row hours, bottom row minutes, you do the math. If 1 and 2 and 8 are illuminated, it is 11 PM and you should be heading out the door, having worked some fourteen hours today. The bottom row has six LEDs to read the minutes, but if you’re wearing a watch like this you only deal in hours. High tech is a demanding field, whether you’re managing computers or managing people who program computers. You need to convey the depth of your intelligence in the clearest and quickest manner, and what better way than to read the time from a watch that most around you can’t make heads or tails of? Seriously, this watch is simply gorgeous, slick and easy to read, once you know the trick. Who can resist a design that looks so simple and so different? Re-arrange your world and make it better, faster, smarter, and binary.
