The Uzumaki watch is a colorful spiraling watch designed for the Tokyoflash Design Blog. The Uzumaki watch was designed by a Malaysian designer known only as Firdaus, and is meant to tell time using its three spirals.
The first thing that comes to mind when I hear the name Uzumaki is the popular manga Naruto. Sorry to disappoint all of you fanboys out there, but the Uzumaki watch unfortunately has nothing to do with the incredibly awesome anime.
What the Uzumaki watch does have to do with is telling time in exciting and new ways. The smallest spiral tells the hour, while the medium spiral tells the minutes and the longest spiral tells the seconds. I can't tell time on the Uzumaki watch to save my life, but I'm sure that with a helpful instruction manual, that problem would be easily remedied.
If the Uzumaki watch can garner enough votes and attention from readers of the Tokyoflash Design Blog, it could potentially go from concept to reality. Check it out and decide for yourself whether or not it's time for the Uzumaki watch.
