Why yes it is as a matter of fact.
I came across the 4N ("Four Numbers") MVT01 watch in this month's Virgin Blue in-flight magazine. The product of French watch designer François Quentin, the rotating discs of jumping numerals and their workings are displayed beneath the sapphire glass front.
Below, you can see the disc configuration and its mechanical housing. Whether you're in the habit of wearing watches or not, you'd soil yourself if someone gave you one of these – and don't try telling me otherwise!
And for those of you who like to have the time of day literally spelled out, here's the Qlocktwo wall clock by Biegert & Funk, which has been around for a couple of years. Its backlit stainless steel colour plate can be changed for another colour and is also available in five other European languages. It synchronizes itself by receiving atomic clock signals and adjusts its brightness according to the ambient light.
Awesome! I like the watch, it's quite cool.
ReplyDeleteI saw a wall clock on a blog the other day which I should have put on mine. It lit up and all like.
