Fossil has released a new watch that appears to be a classic analog timepiece there is just one modification, caller ID? Yes the new Fossil wristwatch has a small LED display that will flash a caller's ID when your phone rings. The watch also vibrates to warn you of the incoming call.
For all of those who say wristwatches are worthless now that we have cell phones, try telling it to Bonhams and Goodman who just sold a watch for $65,000 at a fine jewelry sale in Sydney Australia. Two weeks ago a 1943 Rolex 3525 Oyster Chronograph was put up for auction with an initial estimate of $30,000 but the bidding soon got out of control and reached the price of $65,000.
How do you think the visually impaired tell what time it is? Well with the new solar powered braille watch of course. Jeonjun Cho of Kyungki University in Korea has developed a braille clock collection consisting of a very fashionable watch and necklace. The necklace and watch share the same readout, which is composed of "dots, lines, and planes," all basic factors of creating braille numbers.
Yet another watch on the market that is difficult to read but provides a nice appearance. TheOne binary watch has a full complement of lights that flash to tell the time with either blue or red LEDs. What they lack in readability they make up for in looks. Stainless steel case and 100 feet water resistance round out the package.
Until now most watches out there have the minute and hour hand on the same dial, while one company wanted to change that. MB&F have come out with a new watch called the Horological Machine No.1. The unique thing about this watch is that the hour and minute hand rotate on separate dials. Max Büsser, the B of MB&F, wanted to create a difference in the watch world.

The digital watch has a ok design, featuring blue backlight, calendar, stopwatch, alarms, countdown timer and world time.

The #1 unique watch retailer, Tokyoflash, is at it again. Unlike your standard time-piece the new Equalizer watch uses around seventy LED's to tell the time using either green or blue LED's. The LED's will light up once a minute to display the time, all that's involved is some simple calculations.
However, the makers of this unique watch don't seem to be too concerned with practical uses. In an era where cell phones and PDAs can easily be used as time pieces, the makers have focused upon design and aesthetics.
