Weird Clocks

Geoffrey Cooper has designed some extraordinary and rare piece of wristwatch: the Geocentric watch shows time moving concentric rings that moves reminding us the movement of planets across their orbits.

The idea is to show a mesmerizing movement of the rings at the same time that tells you the time ;)

For now, this is just a cool concept watch.

The new Louis Vuitton Tambour Mysterieuse Calibre LV115 boast magic floating hands (and extremely luxury watch!).

Hands appear to be floating and the trick is: two transparent sapphire disks supports hour and minute hands ;)

Made of gold and steel you will have to sell a kidney to buy it: $ 265.000. Yes, it's not a mistake. More than a quarter million dollars, but hey. Louis Vuitton gives you get not only the watch but the possibility to customize in the way you want ;)

Fantastic timepiece. The new Hamilton ODC X-02 is a multiwatch: you can have up to three time faces of analogic watches at the same time in your wrist. Three big valves inserted at the top of the frame controls each of the faces.

With a futuristic and clean design is specially designed for people who travels the world (even is modelated after the cross-section of an airplane wing).

Made of titanium, will cost you $1.750.

This is an amazing clock made of water jets at the entrance of Kanazawa Station (Japan). To say it correctly, this is not a clock but a whole sign system. That's why people arriving at station gets a "Welcome" messege and time info in that display.

Here are some other photos of Kanazawa Station.
Kanasawa is well known for its wood, that's why the main entrance or gate is a fantastic wooden one...


The roof is an amazing metal structure...


The video showing the sign system:


Este es un sorprendente reloj hecho con chorros de agua en la entrada de la estación de Kanazawa (Japón).
Para decirlo correctamente, no es un reloj sino un sistema para mostrar información. La gente que arriva a la estación es bienvenida con un mensaje y la hora en este particular reloj.

Además se pueden apreciar en las fotos: el portal de la entrada principal de Kanazawa que es fantástico y hecho de madera ya que la ciudad es reconocida por sus maderas.
El techo de la estación es una fantástica estructura metálica.

This is a really interesting concept. Not only because it has a nice design, but it has a unique feature: two separates alarms that works perfect for couples. It has two rings that can be used by two diferent persons and starts to vibrate at the setted times. This way you can solve the problems of you and your partner having to wake up at different times, without waking up the other.
The clock is also perfect if you dislike hearing annoying sound early in the morning, and it is perfect for people with hearing problems too.

Este es un concepto realmente interesante. No sólo porque posee un hermoso diseño, sino porque posee una característica única: dos alarmas separadas que funcionan perfecto para parejas. Posee dos anillos que pueden ser usados por dos personas distintas y comienzan a vibrar a las horas fijadas. De esta forma se solucionan los problemas cuando en una pareja alguno de los dos tiene que despertarse más temprano, sin despertar al otro.
El reloj también es perfecto si (como yo) te disgusta escuchar ruidos molestos temprano a la mañana, y es perfecto también para personas con problemas auditivos.
