Gadget of the week - Binary Watch KT102B1

I came across this watch in the Swiss (Air) flight magazine. I am using Swiss again more after the recent easyJet disaster. This watch shows the time in binary format using LEDs and is not a very new idea at all. But I like the design and think it is a head turner. Next to two years of manufacturer’s warranty it comes with a hardened mineral glass and is water-resistant to 3atm (whatever that means). The ad says:

At the heart of every digital watch is a computer that uses the binary system. So why not cut out the middle man and communicate with this great little computer directly?

Of course it will take a little while to get used to and quite frankly it is not very practical at all, but looks cool and has your business counterparts on the other side of the table noticing it and asking you about it. I would call it the “tech business meeting ice breaker 1/0″. Pricing is 215 CHF on Swiss flights.
