The folks over at Tokyo Flash are at it again with yet another crazy LED watch design that inspires both awe and confusion. This latest optical illusion watch design makes use of the famous (or infamous?) magic eye phenomenon to display the time. Of course to most onlookers the zig-zag pattern will make no sense, but if the owner can train himself to see the time displayed behind the pattern he will be sure to both astound and annoy friends and family.
Even if you can't manage to see the optical illusion, Tokyo Flash has built in a sort of dummy switch that allows you to display the time regularly with the push of a button. Try your hand using the picture below and see if you can decipher the numbers 05:36. Once I was told what to look for, I managed to visualize the time without a problem.
If optical illusions are not your thing, Tokyo Flash has a number of other cleverly designed watches available. So far the company has managed to communicate time via LEDs on a street map watch, an equalizer watch, and even a stained-glass pattern watch.
