  • Tokyoflash Kisai Stencil Watch Tells Time in Negative Space

    This has to be one of the more interesting recent designs from Tokyoflash – I think I might actually get this one! The Kisai Stencil showcases the time in an intuitive fashion, thanks to the custom digits that are displayed. Unlike some of their other watches, a glance is enough to know the exact time.…

  • Tokyoflash Kisai Optical Illusion LCD Watch: Now You See It Now You Don’t

    One of the biggest complaints that I’ve had with some of these Japanese watches is that you always have to push a button to check the time. Since Tokyoflash started working with more LCD displays, instead of only using LEDs, this problem has been somewhat solved – assuming you can make out the time. Their…

  • Tokyoflash Kisai Seven: For All You TRON Fanatics

    Tokyoflash’s watches are well-known from having somewhat obtuse ways of displaying the time. The newly launched Kisai Seven incorporates two pulsating LED rings to show the time. Initially, the display looks confusing, but once you take a closer look, anyone who can tell the time on an analog clock will have no problems with this…

  • Tokyoflash Kisai Night Vision Watch: Surprisingly Easy to Read

  • Tokyoflash Kisai 3D Unlimited Watch: A Unique Perspective on Time

    Unlike most of Tokyoflash’s watches, the new Kisai 3D Unlimited is actually pretty easy to read. The numbers are displayed anti-clockwise in a sort of isometric 3D perspective, with the hours at the top. It takes a brief second to get the hang of it, then it all makes perfect sense.

  • Tokyoflash Kisai Kaidoku: Telling Time with Text

    This unique watch from Tokyoflash tells time with words instead of numbers or hands.

  • Tokyoflash Kisai Rogue SR2 Watch Mixes LCD and LED Displays

    Tokyoflash just released the Kisai Rogue SR2 watch, an updated version of the Rogue that they had available before. Unlike most of the Tokyoflash range of digital watches, the Kisai Rogue SR2 features an always-on LCD display. This means that you won’t have to push a button to read the time, which is a bonus…

  • Tokyoflash Kisai RPM Acetate Watch: No Hands, But Plenty of LEDs

    Tokyoflash just announced a limited acetate version of the Kisai RPM, which was a reader-submitted design turned into reality back in November. Although the large blank face still looks a bit odd in my taste, at least this watch is easier to read than Tokyoflash’s usual crop. Read more @ Technabob

  • Kisai Satellite: Another Crazy Concept That Becomes Reality

    The Kisai Satellite was showcased on the Tokyoflash design blog last May and since it was one of their most popular designs, they’ve made it a reality. The popularity of these watches is determined by the users, meaning that a lot of users voted for it so this is why it’s being built.

  • Kisai Light Speed: From Tron to Your Wrist In No Time

    As you might have guessed, this new Tokyoflash watch isn’t easy to read (what else is new?) but it does looks pretty spiffy. The white version definitely makes me think of TRON: Legacy. There’s also some good news! It’s pretty affordable, compared to some of the other watches that they’ve created. Read more @ Technabob
