Kisai Satellite: Fan picked concept becomes bonkers wristwatch
Another day, another mad wrist watch from the folks over at Tokyo Flash. This one however, the Kisai Satellite, has one damn cool story behind it. Starting off as a mere concept piece, it received such a positive response from…
Tokyo Flash reveal three wallet-friendly wrist watches
Tokyo Flash have today launched three new neon wristwatches to add to their growing range of mad time-pieces. A bit cheaper than other Tokyo Flash watches due to the materials used (plastic rather than the usual combinations of aluminium, steel…
Kisai Round Trip re-invents the pocket watch
Think pocket-watches are the reserve of Victorian detectives and antiques experts? Think again! Tokyo Flash are today launching the Kisai Round Trip, a novel take on the pocket watch that brings it bang up to date with LED lights. According…
Tokyo Flash Kisai Denshoku – still purely ornamental
Let’s be honest about Tokyo Flash watches. They’re a conspiracy by Japanese people to undermine Western culture by making sure that nobody knows what the time is – ever. The Kisai Denshoku, here, and its buddies are designed to look irresistibly appealing but completely useless as chronographs.
There’s some nonsense about the number of bars representing hours – most likely hours until the West’s self-destruction through enforced disorganisation – but I don’t buy it for a minute, or second or whatever units they want to represent. The clever part is we get to pay them for the privilege. £163.70 and you too can speed the revolution. Fool.
Tokyo Flash dazzles us yet again with the Scramble and Progression watches
Being a fan of Tokyo Flash’s awesome otaku cred, I couldn’t resist showing you these two new designs from the Japanese wrist-lovers’ new series for Summer, Nekura.
Scramble, the left design, lets you choose the LED colour you prefer, with blue, green, cyan, red, pink or orange all on offer, but that doesn’t mean you have to say goodbye to all the other shades, as it still rotates them occasionally. The twelve outside blocks indicate the hour, with the eleven inner blocks…
Tokyo Flash is back from outer space with the Oberon
The watch range that, if you’re lucky, narrows the time down to the nearest hour or so, has been updated again. Check out the sensational Tokyo Flash Oberon.
The Oberon’s weird selling point is its black steel body and curvy lines, with a dazzling white LED display on the top…
Tokyo Flash gives users a taste of Tokyo with the 'Kyokusen' watch
I don’t think I know a single person who doesn’t love Tokyo Flash watches, but then, I don’t think I know a single person who actually knows how to read the time on one of their famously-complicated watch faces.
The Japanese company has a new model out, ‘Kyokusen’, which has apparently been inspired by Tokyo, as shown through the digital tubes, curved lines and bright lights. ‘Kyokusen’ means ‘curved lines’ in Japanese, and…
Shiny Shiny's list of the top five most unreadable watches
Susi from Shiny Shiny is renowned in our office for having the world’s most ridiculous watch. Like Macs, it looks good, but it doesn’t really work very well, and in most cases, she just uses the time on her BlackBerry rather than spending 40 minutes studying her Tokyo Flash timepiece.
Inspired no doubt by the shouty ‘NOW’ watch released the other day, she’s put together the top five most unreadable watches stupidity can buy you. Better keep a hold of your mobile phone just in case, natch…
Another unusable Tokyo Flash watch – Barcode Black
If you don’t really need to know what the time is, Tokyo Flash watches are for you.
Confusing, bewildering, based on binary and quite often featuring no actual numbers at all, the cult watch-maker’s timepieces aren’t for people that need to know what the time is in a hurry.
