Weird Watch Wednesday: The Twilight Watch
This week’s watch is a bit of a contradiction. On the one hand its sort of cool but on the other hand its sort of, well…not. As the name suggests the concept is to illustrate the change of twilight from dark to light as the sun slowly fades away. This is the theory anyway.
How Does It Work?
The face of the watch slowly fades from light to back over the course of the passage of time across the face, changing approximately every 20 seconds or so. To create this rather unique effect the dial has two polarized disks that rotate throughout the day do darken and lighten the dial. You can see this process in action in the below video:
The case is rather small at 36mm and is made of brushed stainless steel, with a stainless steel case back. Fitted with a soft black leather there are no visible lugs creating a seamless connection from strap to case.
The Final Word
As far as novelty watches go this one is not too bad and is certainly rather unique. Its probably a bit small to be worn by an adult but would make a cool gift for a child and could perhaps even be slightly educational. Perhaps.
Available from ThinkGeek for $119.

Great post! The watch’s design is really very interesting though I would agree that it’s not a timepiece for an adult.
Thanks Ann. I think you’re spot on, its a cool watch but probably more suitable for a younger demographic.
