What time is it? "Two hairs past a freckle, Eastern Elbow Time," says the Talus AboutTime, the watch that doesn't really care what time it is. Well, it's a little more exact than that. It notifies you of the time of day with breezy, insouciant phrases such as,
it's coming up on a quarter past 8,
or
it's a bit past 5,
or
it
s nearly 1 thirty.
For those anal types who really must know exactly what time it is, a click of the crown takes you back into the world of
reality-based
timekeeping. Talus plans to have another model in its lineup called the Talus Timeline, an elongated rectangular watch where the hour numeral starts at the top and slowly floats down as the hour progresses. I suppose these watches, neither of which has been manufactured yet, would be great for those of us bloggers who make up the ranks of the pajamahadeen, but for button-down office types, not sure the boss would care for the idea of you showing up for work at
around 10.
Talus Watch Tells Approximate Time [OhGizmo]

Looks like a bad rip-off of the Fossil, Frank Gehry watch. The original is much cooler in that it is done in a chalkboard like handwriting and the display switches to white on black at night. It's also available now instead of "Manufacturing under negotiation" !!! www.fossil.com/jump.jsp?itemID=981&itemType=CATEGORY
It's like the fuzzy time setting on the clocks in Linux...I love it... It suits me...
The Fossil watch still tells the correct time just in a more natural way, where as this one is more fuzzy. And that handwriting is Gehry's own.
I need this! I consider myself a pretty smart guy, but for some reason I cannot read watches or clocks quickly. That part of my brain seems to be missing. I suppose I could just get a digital watch.
I really like the idea. Good for not being overly stressed about time, and if you need exact timing, you have probably got a cellphone anyway.
if you need to know the exact time you could just push the button on the side and it will go to digital <_< heres there sight look at the demo.
for got to actually give you the site...DUH! lol, her ya go http://www.talusfurniture.com/amusements/watch/index.html<...
