The Morse Code Watch

An attractive watch can really change the way in which a person is perceived by the other people around him/her and this is the reason why an increasingly higher number of manufacturers come up with all sorts of experimental and strange items that tell the time in the most unusual manners possible. And that's exactly the type of device you'll be able to read about as follows, namely the Morse Code LED Watch presented by the watch-obsessed
people over at TokyoFlash.

The first thing that draws the attention to this very special watch is its design. Thus, the Morse Code sports a stainless steel, sleek and shiny mirror finish, as well as a solid stainless case which refracts the sound from the built-in speaker.

The device displays the time in both 12 and 24 hour modes, but can achieve this goal in several ways. Thus, the first manner in which the watch announces the time is by beeping out the hours and minutes in Morse Code through the built-in speaker. However, since most of us simply can't decipher the Morse code just like that, out of the blue, the press of a button will result in the lighting up of several LEDs on the watch's face, displaying the time, but also in Morse.

Nevertheless, this is not a completely unusable watch, as you might have thought up until now. Thus, the device also sports a third time-display option, the users being able to see the time in normal figures as well, by pressing yet again the aforementioned button.

The very original time-telling device from TokyoFlash is recommended to people having a maximum wrist size of around 205 mm. Moreover, it's quite portable, as it measures around 40 mm x 40 mm x 10 mm, at a weight of just around 150 grams and works with one CR2032 battery. The Morse Code Watch will retail for around 111 US dollars, both in Japan directly through TokyoFlash and in other parts of the world through IwantOneOfThose, which makes it quite an affordable item, at least as far as weird watches go.
