Cool Watch

Here is a cool watch designed by Sean Zoega. It’s totally new concept in time keeping and unusual contemporary styling is a celebration of being that “little bit different”. The i-Toc wristwatch features two radially graduated rings that displays the current time. The outer gradient displays the minutes and the inner gradient shows the hours. The gradient patterns interact to create a pattern that is both functional and beautiful. I really like the design of these watches: they come in a choice of six funky colors, from black, silver, blue, purple, red, orange. This limited edition watch also comes with an anodized aluminum casing. Only 400 pieces that are available for purchase (here). Want one? It’s only $96.

All you need to do is to point your thumb and little finger towards your ear and mouth respectively to make or receive a call, thanks to the built-in distance sensors.

iPhone Powered Bags

Julia Smola

Japanese super geek Akio has single-handedly designed what he calls a digital signage bag specifically made for iPhones. It’s essentially a bag with three pockets that fit an iPhone or iPod touch each.

Apart from three iPhones, it can also store a 15-inch MacbookPro and be used as a rucksack (the iPhone screens will then flip from vertical display to horizontal display accordingly).

Square Eggs (Egg Cuber)

The Egg Cuber was made in Hong Kong for the Aluminum Housewares Col in 1977. The best thing about a square egg is it won’t roll off…
