Body piercer Dave Hurban thought it would be an interesting idea to mesh body modification and technology. He decided to use an iPod Nano, with the idea of not having a wrist strap as used on a more conventional wrist-watch version of the iPod.
Yeah I know, awesomest is not a real word. But this watch is just that cool, where no real word can describe it. It’s the HYT Hydro Mechanical Horologists watch and it makes James Bond watches look like child’s play. The HYT watch tells time in no way ever done before. For the first time, liquid is incorporated into time telling.
Previously I already established that the wrist watch has pivoted and is no longer used to tell time only. It has and will continue to take new form, new functions and applications. But maybe, just maybe, after seeing this one of a kind Space Invaders watch, I will go back to telling time the old fashioned way!
Remember the Super Bowl ad with the kid as Darth Vadar trying to control the Volkswagen car? Cute, right? Think Geek has come out with their own version, but it’s for a neat little remote control R2-D2 watch. I bet the kid in the Super Bowl ad would love this watch!
As you can imagine, most people use mobile phones to tell time now. Hardly do you see people looking at their wrists to check what time it is anymore. If someone is wearing a watch, it’s probably more of a fashion statement than a function. I was reading an article where the author had a realization watching students in college that they rarely wore wristwatches. With that information, insight was provided into where time telling is going. Watches are no longer only going to be for finding the time, but instead having other functions.
