If you read my articles you may notice by now that I have a borderline obsession with clocks. Though that is not the case, I just come across so many cool time pieces in my travels that I cannot pass them up. Here we have the LED Watch, and what makes this one so special is that it’s not just an ordinary pocket watch that lights up. Rather, each hour, minute and second interval is represented by an LED, giving the watch 133 LEDs in total.
Paul created this LED watch in the little amount of two years, and it only cost him $1000 to produce. Now that’s dedication.
