Japanese watchmaker Tokyo Flash has just released its newest user-designed timepiece. It may not be as famous (yet) as a certain other Uzumaki but it’s certainly just as awesome.
Uzumaki comes from the Japanese word for whirlpool and is named so for the watch lens’ descending concentric circles. The hands also descend into the centre of the watch—the hour hand is one the outside edge; the minute’s on the inside. Its stainless steel construction allows it to be submerged to as many as three atmospheres, while the back light helps your time-telling in the dark.
This is the sixth user-submitted concept to be released by the Tokyo Flash guys, and it’s available in either stainless steel or black with a blue or green display. The limited-edition analogue watch retails for £80 on the Kisai website, however, the company is running a launch promo for the next 48 hours and is knocking it down to £61.
Love TokyoFlash stuff – I’ve got the Kisai Seven which used in this video.

Love it.
Ahh, that’s a great watch. I do love the idea of collecting Tokyo Flash stuff — can imagine that’d get pretty expensive, mind. (And that you’re probably better off investing in a Brietling or something instead…)
I think watches are stuck in a rutt, the same designs and the same mechanisms, sure you’ve got a floaty ball one or a calculator one, why aren’t they evolving like our phones are? I think one of the coolest watches is an ipod nano with a watchstrap, if you could get some apps/ more functionality on there I would be impressed.
I don’t think I expressed myself very well. This watch is pretty awesome looking though, a step in the right direction.
That would be nice if the glass didn’t stick out so much.

Yeah, this movie gets nowhere near the level of recognition it deserves.
It looks great fun. Only problem is that the only thing it realy says about you is that you are still a thirteen year old boy at heart. Not always a useful projection.
This is a rip off of the Ziiiro Celeste, which is a real shame to see from a company that has produced so much cool original stuff.
