Cool Vulcania Watch

I’m wondering if this Vulcania Watch isn’t some Star Trek reference to the planet Mr. Spock is from. After all, it does seem logical for a company to make a watch that looks this cool.

Apparently, the Vulcania is some sort of steampunk reference. I’m clearly not getting this, but perhaps designer Fabrice Gonet was going for something like that.

You can view the time in a few different ways. For example, the hours are seen on the wheel, and the minutes are on the circular dial. There is even a small window to display the day.

The coolest thing is that the owner can view the inner mechanisms of the watch. This is done with some very cool sapphire glass panels on the front, back, and even the sides.

The Cool ICON watch

The Icon Watch was designed back in 2005 although it appears to have just become available for purchase. It is shaped like a computer icon in pixelated form, has an ABS and stainless steel body with a polyurethane band. There is nothing too technical about this watch as it just tells the time and that’s all. I recommend you mix it with an 8-bit tie for the ultimate computer look while you are out this weekend. Just don’t expect people to be laughing with you as they may end up laughing at you

The Icon Watch costs a hefty $75 ($67.50 if you are a member of MoMA) and measures Case: 1.25h x 1.25″w; Band: .75″w.

Oris BC4 Flight Timer Keeps Jet-Setters Up To Snuff

I don’t care whether you’re a pilot or a frequent flier, there are still ways for the good old time zones to wipe your body clock clean of any past rhythms. Taking a trip from the U.S. to the U.K. is only fun once you’ve got your sleeping patterns back under control. At least enough so you can get a taste of both the night life, and the day light festivities.

The BC4 Flight Timer from Oris is a awesome way to keep tabs on up to three time zones at once right from your wrist. The BC4 features an automatic movement with the second timezone subdial, while the extra-large crown can adjust the third dial for yet another time zone.

One of the best things about the BC4 is its ability to both look awesome and be productive simultaneously. The leather wrist band and expertly designed face make the watch appear to be a unique, high-end time piece, rather than a tool for the jet-setting aviator. Looking good and feeling good are easy with the form and function of the Flight Timer.

But awesome style and expert features doesn’t come cheap. The Oris BC4 Flight Timer will set you back $3,300, so we’re thinking the best candidate for such a watch is a frequent flying CEO or business person. Someone who’s comfortable enough financially to fly first class on a regular basis, but who also needs to mind his sleeping patterns for those early morning meetings.
