Ever wonder how it would look and feel wearing a zipper as a bracelet? How about a zipper bracelet that tells time? Seriously!!! Well, wonder no more.

Designer Andy Kurovets have been digging around in your mind an came up with a concept, the Zipper Bracelet Watch. To some of you it might look ridiculous and to some it might look cool, I am somewhere in the middle but I’d get one just for fashion.

This concept is a wide leather bracelet where the zips actually display the current time when you hit the central buttons on the wrist. Each zip displays a digit, which you are supposed to combine together to read the time.

It’s not like I am a warmonger and neither is Hublot, but after seeing this pocket watch in the form of a Bullet, I thought “this is nice.” Known for off-the-wall thinking, the creative superstars at Hubolt have hatched this mind-boggling creation in their watchmaking division known as the Confrérie Horlogère. Dubbed “Liberty,” this timepiece houses a tourbillon and can be worn on a bracelet or as a pendant in the typical late LTTE style. They are constructed with a titanium bullet head and black aluminum base.

The idea of the Nostromo is be more accessible, mechanically fascinating, and user-friendly. Plus, Cabestan loves the idea of basing the name and design on the spaceship from the classic Alien movie. Time is remarkably easy to read. There are several drums on the dial that are engraved with numerals. These serve to indicate the hours, minutes, and seconds. There is a fourth drum used to indicate the 50 hour power reserve. Cabestan has included a jumping hour complication to make reading the hours even easier. This is all thanks to the new in-house made and designed Calibre CAB PG 160 manually wound movement. The movement bridges are done in black with much of the mechanics in polished steel. This is to highlight those features. Check out the awesome looking drive-shaft on the right of the dial (it is also viewable through the side right sapphire crystal window). This moves power from the mainspring barrel to the rest of the movement.

The Chroma Wristwatch is the most creative wristwatch I’ve seen so far; the Iron Samurai Red LED Watch has nothing against this. What makes the Chroma Wristwatch so unique is the kaleidoscope Munsell measurement (Munsell Measurement is the standard measure of three dimensions of color: tone, value and color purity) and while the numerals change color every second, the hour hand colors merge from one color palette to another more gradually creating beautiful hues of the color spectrum

The Chroma Wristwatch comes with the selection of two bands: Stainless Steel Mesh Band (made of all brushed stainless steel and is water resistant to 150ft) and Black Leather Band.

Have you ever gotten a sealed package or just a piece of paper with a dash-line saying “cut here”? How about wearing that line around your neck or your wrist, literally? Go ahead, give some crazy lunatic an invitation to slit your throat. The genius that design this contraption must think that people does not value their life. On the other hand, it’s a cool piece Jewelery.

If I should ever buy a new watch it probably would be the Iron Samurai – not because it is a spectacularly ugly bracelet-style watch made from “Samurai sword carbonized steel folded 1000x over,” – but no one could tell it is a watch. Now don’t call me selfish or mean but I am kind of tired of hearing “do you have the time” or “what time is it”. Well what can I say, it past for a crazy digital watch and it’s quite cheap.

Introducing The Iron Samurai, a lava red Japanese inspired LED watch from an alternative future which gives its wearer cool omnipotence by rewriting the rules of how temporal data (time) should be displayed.

You mean this watch really tells the time? Yes. Even though The Iron Samurai embodies Tokugawan style and Shogunate design with its blood red numerals encased in stark samurai sword steel like the final battle between all the forces of good and evil in the multiverse, this Japanese LED watch does in fact tell the time and does so really efficiently too!

Tap the top button on the right side of the timepiece and watch the screen light up like surfacing lava. Tap the bottom button to make the numbers blink and hence adjust them. In Time mode, the top row represents hour information, while the bottom row represents minutes information. In date mode, top and bottom represent month and day.
