The LED Matrix Watch

This is the watch with 72 LEDs that display the time in a grid of arcane lights. Inspired by the puzzle-like, light-display clocks that debuted decades ago, this watch uses six columns of 12 bright blue LEDs arrayed on a 15/16" x 11/2" display to convey the time through a mesmerizing grid system. The left column is numbered from 1 to 12 for the hour, while the rows to the right fill up according to the number of minutes. (The right column is numbered by fives for an instant accounting of the exact time.) A similar method conveys the month and date. At the touch of a button, the LEDs illluminate and remain that way for 10 seconds. The stainless steel body and 3/4" W band are electroplated for a high gloss black finish. 2 1/4" H x 1 1/2" W x 3/8" D. (5 oz.)
