Because Time Waits for No 01

binary-watch.jpgWe can take a hint. TokyoFlash's 1000100101 Watch is meant to appeal to the geek crowd, what with its near-inscrutable face made up of a gird of colored LEDs set in a brushed metal face. The only thing is, it's kind of misleading: Each day of the week has its own light, and the block of LEDs below makes it simple to decipher the time. Nine red LEDs lit, along with one green and eight yellow means it's 9:18. A truly geeky watch would use honest-to-God binary and, ahem, fewer LEDs. But hey, I understand that sometimes you're just going for effect. Just don't let the guys from IT out you as a poseur.
