Watch From Another Planet?

JLr7This must be the weirdest watch I have ever seen. Designed by Eri & Eiichi, it comes with an odd name too -- JLr7. Speaking of weird, don’t you find this watch familiar? It looks just like the detonation device worn by the futuristic alien predator as in the movie Predator.

The whole watch is brushed stainless with a dark gunmetal finish and an all black crystal face. The grid of L-shaped digital segments on the face light up to reveal the time. There are 12 lights for the hour, 3 for "quarter past", "half past" & "quarter to" and 14 lights for the times in between. There are also 3 other lights which show the seconds ticking by.

When the button is pressed the watch starts a computerized animation sequence with a random pattern of lights & then displays the time. Between 6pm & Midnight the watch animates automatically every 15 mins to give the effect that it is malfunctioning (this feature can be turned off).

This otherworldly watch is priced at US $85.22 each.
