    Storm MK V Iris Watch: Time May Fly, But It Sure Can't Swim

    To the Storm MK V watch, time is something fragile to be hidden away and guarded in secret. Because instead of just displaying the hour, the MK V tucks the face away behind tiny steel panels, shielding it from the harsh world outside. To check the time, one needs to open the mechanical iris a la 007 credits sequence. But ironically, the MK V isn't even water resistant, despite its stainless steel body and taunting rubber strap. Luckily, we're more than willing to dodge a few rain drops in honor of style. $186 [Storm via ChipChick]
