    10 Gadgets With Mind-Boggling Moving Parts

    At their best, gadgets transcend the world of technology and become "living" works of art. The following ten gadgets are awe-inspiring in their complexity, mind boggling in their motion and beautiful enough to stand alongside the work of any old master. Naturally, there is a clock or two, but there are also calculators, a Rube Goldberg machine and a crazy moving building rounding out the list.

    Bentley Makes a Safe For Expensive Watches, Perfect for Wall Street Execs Looking to Piss Us Off Even More

    You know you're rich when you drop tens of thousands of dollars on a fancy watch. You know you're obscenely, ridiculously rich when you have so many of said fancy, expensive watches that you need a specially-designed safe to hold and show off all of them. Stockinger and Bentley have teamed up to make a line of safes designed to hold watches and only watches. Some of them even have some sort of fancy, high-tech watch winder inside. But people won't buy it for that. They'll buy it because they want to store their million dollars' worth of watches in a safe with the Bentley logo on it, because they are douchebags. Case closed.

    Quiksilver's The Ray Watch is Confusing, But Eco-Friendly

    All those confusing-display watches from Tokyo flash have nothing on the impeccable eco-credentials of Quiksilver's upcoming watch. The Ray is analog with a 27-jewel movement, though its display is unusual and looks like it'd take a while to get used to... but it's shipped in eco-friendly packaging by ship rather than by air (saving on CO2 emissions) and is made of largely recyclable materials. That's stuff like wood, stainless steel, aluminum, and mineral glass, and though I'm not sure it's the "world's first eco-friendly timepiece" it certainly sounds like a good idea. You'll probably have to be a rich eco-warrior to have one though: it's a limited run of 1,000 pieces, and the price is still to be announced. [Acquiremag]

    Gizmodo Alum Sells Book For More Money Than He's Worth

    Congrats to Gizmodo alum John Biggs, now at Crunchgear, for selling a book about Marie Antoinette's watch for $300,000. He first told me about this book about two years ago over a crappy sandwich and soda—it was my treat, I believe—and detailed how this impressive timepiece was passed down over several generations. Apparently six publishing houses had much more interest in this book than I did, since they paid THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR IT. I believe you owe me a lunch, Bigglesby. [Observer]

    'Steampunk' Watch Sullies Steampunk's Good Name

    I'm not sure if steampunk is currently cool or if it's played out or if it's still "underground," but I do know one thing: this "steampunk" watch takes everything crappy about the aesthetic and includes nothing that makes it cool. It's a lame-looking watch on a boring leather cuff with some gears randomly attached around it. No one in some alternate-Victorian future-past would be caught dead wearing something so half-assed. If you're going to do it, do it properly, with the adornments looking like they're necessary to make the thing run. Put some effort in, people. [eBay via Coolest Gadgets]

    Diesel LED Watches Have Hidden Mirror Displays for Sci-Fi Chic

    Ah, a digital watch with an LED display that's not impossible to read... fantastic! Even better, the LEDs on these new watches from Diesel are a dot-matrix screen, and are hidden behind a mirror surface that makes the whole package look suitably sci-fi. Like something Luke would've worn on his cybernetic wrist. You can even program the display to scroll messages up to 20 characters long. Having "Use the Force..." scrolling past is too much, you think? Available with a mirrored patent strap (DZ7091) or a black leather one (DZ7092) for $170. [Diesel via Technabob]

    Asos Disk Dial Watches: Confusing Displays, Analog-Style

Inside they have two wheels that spin relative to a marker line: and that's where you peek to work out how many hours and minutes of the work day remain (that's the main reason for wearing a watch, yes?). It's all a bit 1970s tech, and rather cool. Available now for about $70. [BBGadgets]

    Scramble and Progression Tokyo Flash Watches Aren't Totally Confusing

    Just a few weeks ago I showed you the Infection watch, which was very much in the vein of befuddling time display that importer Tokyo Flash has become famous for. But now there're the new Scramble and Progression watches from Nekura, and it looks like their LED-backlit LCD displays are slightly more straightforward, if still funky. You can even chose the illumination color from a choice of six, or go for multicolor changing. Those straps are in engraved stainless steel too, and are "self-adjusting" somehow.

    Casio Oceanus Watch: Solar Drives Atomic

    The Casio Oceanus Super Chronograph is the world's first solar chronograph watch that syncs with atomic clocks. Using a multi-band radio, the watch can check in with the US, UK, Germany and Japan to keep precise time—and solar energy consumption means that you'll potentially never run out of battery (the watch can draw energy from indoors and outdoors alike). In other words, this Oceanus could literally always have the correct time—which is a little too much accountability for our tastes. [Casio via techfresh]

    Sentio Tactile Digital Watch for Blind has Good Looks

    Looking like the love child of the mechano-digital Di Grisogono and the F1 watches, this concept is intended to be a timepiece for the visually impaired. Elements of the 7-segment numerals pop out so you can tell the time with a touch (I'm guessing it shows hours, minutes sequentially.) But designer Matthew Wagerfield thought that just because it would be for those with poor vision, doesn't mean it can't look great. And Sentio is attractive enough that many a normally-sighted person would love one. [Sentio via Gizmowatch]

The time is revealed by 12 red, 11 yellow and four green LEDs, and you can choose to animate the display or just show the right time.

    A New "World's Most Expensive" Gadget?

    Watches were the original gadget. But unlike their silicon counterparts, good watches tend to appreciate over time. So barring that 5G iPhone prototype sitting in Jobs' desk, we believe this $2,157,760 Patek Philippe watch just auctioned at Sotheby's may be the world's new most expensive gadget. While the watch itself is a masterpiece, its historical weight tips the scales—owned by race car driver Carlo Felice Trossi, the watch was released in 1932, "a turning point which also saw car racing and the emergence of airplanes," as described by Sotheby's.

    Photowatch: Strap-On Digital Picture Frame and Wristwatch

    A half-way house between a digital watch and those crazy do-it-all multimedia watches, the digital photo frame watch may actually appeal to more people. The built-in memory can store 60 photos and it can superimpose the time in analog or digital format over the top. And that's all it does: simple. It charges through USB, lasting about 8 hours —its main drawback, perhaps— and is Mac and PC compatible. In leather and stainless steel, it'll set you back $99.95. [EverythingUSB]

    F1/Carbon Watch has Expensive Looks, Like Real Formula 1

    Designer John Pszeniczny was trying to combine elements of Formula 1 racing with gems and crystals, and we think he's done well with his F1/Carbon GMT watch. It's even got a stopwatch and laptimer built in, and has the time in each of the cities on the F1 calendar. The red-lit display looks kinda mean, and the 18 identical embedded rubies sure are in the spirit of the huge cost of F1. The bracelet style would make it look like a high-tech tyre wrapped round your wrist— though we can't help but wonder about chafing. Just a concept. [Yanko]

    Casio Futurist Watch Would Get Goldfinger All Excited

    The Futurist golden watch certainly seems to be going along with the retro design trend Casio's been exploring recently. The LA-2002G wouldn't look out of place on the wrist of any Bond villain of yesteryear, we think. Inside that matte gold case it's not exactly brimming with features, but it does have a stopwatch, timer, 29 time-zone clock and up to five independent daily alarms. Originally only available in Japan, TokyoFlash is making it available here for $149. Cackling and saying "At last we meet, Meester Bond!" as you strap it on is up to you. [TokyoFlash via Technabob]

    C1 Tourbillon Watch Has 18th Century Tech to Correct for Gravity

    We've shown you some beautiful retro-digital watches recently, but this timepiece takes the prize for integrating real old technology: a tourbillon escapement. Invented in 1795, this type of escapement actually rotates inside its frame and was designed to counteract lop-sided gravity effects caused by the vertical position gentlemen's pocket watches usually sat in. Concord's C1 mechanical watch has this movement mounted outside the case and dial, and presumably it adds to time accuracy. As well as making the watch look damn fine. Will it go on sale? We don't know, but we suspect a massive price. [C1 via Watchismo]

This Past, Present Future watch, however, tells you exactly what time it is now, but omits everything else we've come to expect on a watch—namely, the rest of the watch. It's conceptual yet friendly, exactly like our imaginary girlfriends. $90 gets you one in black leather or stainless steel. Oh, and the watch is $90 as well. [Projects US]

    Origo Guide Pro Fishing Watch

    For those who like a little cheating with their fishing, the Origo Guide Pro fisherman watch may be a good fit. After measuring 30 hours worth of temperature and pressure, the watch will alert you to the best time to procure the species of the aquatic. Plus, it features some other handy measurements like an altimeter accurate within a foot and a digital compass that just might save your life. For those without either the patience of fishing or the $60-$100 to plop on this watch, don't fret. We hear the mercury content will kill you anyway. [popsci via ohgizmo]

    Stanley Brings out a Pair of Watches, One of them Strange

    Ah, Brando. The soft "ping" in my inbox that heralds yet another slice of pedestrian weirdness from everyone's favorite purveyor of odds 'n' sods. And today's offering was no different: a pair of watches from toolmaker Stanley. One sports a 16-position compass, but it's the other one that got me all excited—a calculator watch with 6" ruler. Full specs for both after the jump. More »

    Skullcandy Bully MP3 Watches Given Fancy New Look

    If you're searching for MP3-playing wristwear that's a bit more eye catching than nTren's MP3 watches from earlier today, Skullcandy's new Bully line looks pretty snazzy. Actually, aesthetics are the real reason to drop $200 on this MP3-playing, voice-recording set, since it lacks a bit in the features department: It doesn't have Bluetooth, like nTren's, and doesn't appear to sport an update to the guts in Skullcandy's year-old MacGyver piece, since it still only holds a gig of tracks. But if you wanted a plain or nerdy watch, you'd look elsewhere, right? [Skullcandy via Crave]
