A whole new time! (Neolog´s design watch)
The German company Neolog have made this really cool wristwatch, called NEOLOG A-24 II. Rather than showing the time with numbers or a dial, the digital watch shows time as line.
NEOLOG is based on dividing time into intelligible units: Hours, units of ten minutes, and units of one minutes which are arranged in vertical blocks.
It takes a bit getting used to (at least for the first hour of having the watch..:) BUT it is so sexy… Christmas tip of the year I say! (too late for most countries, but if the gifts are given on the Holy 3 Kings Day there is still a chance!)
Check out the site (and order it) http://www.neolog.cc/english/ Ahh… and the site has some widget downloads too
