Despite the name Tokyoflash’s Negative watch is amazing as usual and for once it’s a breeze to read the time. The watch features a reverse LCD display which lets you view the time without pressing any buttons. The Negative watch gets its name from its “always-on” inverse LCD display which uses oversize black dot-matrix pixels to reveal the time, day or date.

Another feature is a multi-color LED backlight, which lets you sort between one of seven different colors. If you wanted to, you could have a new color every day. In “frenzy” mode the display will put on a little rave party with a colored light show. If that isn’t enough for you, you can choose from horizontal or vertical display orientations, and youll also get a built-in alarm. Comes in polished silver and polished black stainless steel and retails for about $162.

Here’s Tokyoflash’s newest hard to read and futuristic timepiece for those who love these hard-to-read-watches. With the LCD interface, the time can be read at a glance but it can also be illuminated with sci-fi green LEDs, so that when you touch the button, it resembles a glowing radar screen. It sports a solid stainless steel strap which can be adjusted.

So how do you read this one? The outer ring dots are the minutes, every fifth dot being slightly smaller to distinguish five minutes. The ring of large blocks represents rough minutes, the position of the gap indicating approximate minutes. The inner ring of blocks represents hours, the position of the gap in the ring showing the current hour as on a clock face. It will set you back $154.

If you have the need to smuggle sensitive data from one place to another and need to hide your usb drive, this is the watch for you. It features a hidden 4GB USB Flash Drive thanks to a secret compartment at the base.

Plus, it’s fairly plain so it won’t draw attention like say, a Tokyoflash watch. With this baby, before you know it, you’ll be stealing all kinds of company secrets. Unless of course your boss is reading the ‘Brick and notices how much your watch looks like this one.

Tokyoflash announced some new stylish as always unisex analog timepieces in their Nekura series. Five new models in all, each with a custom engraved, self-adjustable wristband made from brushed stainless steel, polished silver case, and are available with a black or clear strap.

Cabriolet sports a speedometer inspired dial, Tumbler features a rotating disc effect like a combination lock, Twilight has a dark face with with tones of orange and blue, Transceiver is inspired by a classic radio dial and Tundra is minimalist representing the wide open spaces.

Here’s the latest awesome looking, but hard to read Tokyoflash watch. This one is called Galaxy and features a “powerful formation of multi-colored light bars, developed using digital tube technology”. It also has a “custom linked, brushed silver strap”. But here’s what you really want to know. How do you read the time?

Hitting the upper button starts an animation, then it will show you the time. The twelve yellow bars are hours going in a clock wise direction, the red bars are groups of five minutes and the four green bars are single minutes. If you use the lower button it will show you the time immediately. It will cost you about $132 USD. Love em or hate em Tokyoflash is making the world look like Sci-Fi one wrist at a time.

Japanese watch wizards Tokyoflash have announced two new amazing and as usual neat timepieces - Scramble and Progression, from the Nekura company. For once they aren’t hard to read, like many others. We’re really digging the sort of techno/biology look, similar to what you’ll find in any Metroid game.

Both watches feature full color LEDs embedded underneath the interface. Touch the upper button to illuminate the display with whatever color you choose (blue, green, cyan, red, pink or orange). The watches also sport a multi-color mode that cycles through all the colors, while they glow brightly to highlight the time. The price isn’t completely unreasonable at about $124.

…In a good way. Mostly. TokyoFlash continues to surprise us with unique watch designs. With their latest, the “Infection” watch, they apparently had sickness on their minds. I’m not sure if I like it or not. On one hand the design is cool, but I look at it and I feel like I need to be quarantined. It’s like ill pop-art.

The time is shown with 12 red, 11 yellow and four green LEDs, and you can choose have the display animated or just show the time. The curved watch is stainless-steel and water-resistant to 3ATM and sells for around $135.

In William Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer’s Night’s Dream” the name of the King of the Fairies was Oberon. He is also the King of the Shadows so something dark might be befitting of a name worthy of this deity which is precisely what the makers of the latest new watch design from Tokyoflash were probably thinking. Like most of the watches offered by these fellows the Oberon dispenses with the tradition two hands and minutes/hours number divisions in favor of patterned LED lights. When you read the time on the Oberon you start by looking at the outer ring of LEDs to determine the hour, the second ring of lights determines what minute it is and the third inner ring is devoted for grouping minutes into blocks of ten. It might sound complicated but picking it up is fairly simple and only takes a few glances at your watch. The watch will also tell you what date it is, all you need do is press a button and you can do that by LED lights too.

The Oberon LED watch is certainly easy on the eyes. It’s like wearing a small starfield on your wrist. Any watch that looks like it has stars on the face catches my attention right away. It looks very stealthy with it’s white LED display and streamlined black stainless steel body and strap. The outer ring of lights tell you the hour, the next ring is for single minutes, and the third shows minutes in groups of tens.

You can read the date in the same way. It takes some getting used to, but it’s worth it. Aside from looking awesome, it’s water-resistant down to 50 meters. The price is about $135.

This unique new watch from TokyoFlash is called the Active Reactor. While it might be a bit challenging trying to figure out the time, it puts a little fun into your day. I wouldn’t advise showing it off at the airport, lest they believe something is “armed” and attached to your wrist.

It will impress your friends though. And telling time with the interface can be done with a little brain power. Simply add up the various light sequences: 20 plus 10 plus 2 = 32 minutes. The Red Warning light marks 6 hours and the Danger gauge marks the other 6 hours.

In the beginning there was the sundial to mark the hours that passed. Next came the analog watch with its winding gears and ticking seconds hand followed by the digital watch. You would think that telling time can’t get any simpler (or stranger) but then along comes the Geomesh watch from Tokyoflash.

The Geomesh’s gunmetal face is a mirrored grid of 27 LEDs running vertically and horizontally. By reading how many lights and what colors are arranged you can tell what time it is (sorry, not the date.) The watches come in either white, blue or multicolored light styles, so for instance if you bought the colored one a yellow light would demark 5 minutes of time while red indicates a single minute.
