    I want one!

    The QLOCKTWO W wristwatch from Biegert & Funk features a grid of 110 letters which light up ‘ in unexpected places’ when you press a stainless steel button on the side of the case.

    No doubt a nifty coder could make it spell out rude words.

    Price TBA. Available from Autumn 2012.
    Fiscal nomad it's legal.

    Looks like a nice gadget to have, to show to your mates in the pub, or if you can read but not actually tell the time on an analog watch.
    Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.

      That is really cute, I can imagine the missus nagging me for one

      Considering no one needs a watch these days, you might as well have one that makes a statement

          I remember when watches with displays first came out in the 70s. One maker wanted to have a chat up line upon pushing a button - but there was no spaces for anything delicate. So they put "LETS F**K" without the *s. I always wondered if anyone ever bought one and if they were successful or not.

                You're slightly behind the times on the watch front.

                While this was all the rage yesterday morning today the discussions are focussed on this which will doubtlessly have that QLOCT design as an optional face.

                  It isn't about being behind the times. The links are to conceptual clever gadgety watches with bloody awful design. The one above is incredibly stylish but single functional. There is a huge difference in market. I would expect people buying the OP's watch wouldn't generally buy the pebble.

                  One day you will get the style and cost over gadget and then you know you have become a proper contractor

                    It looks like one of the many faddy gadgets you see on DealExtreme, I couldn't tell if it's worth $300 or $3.

In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
