This mechanized digital watch by Carl Allen is a fancy new take on an old favorite. This bad boy looks sleek, and has the convenience of a digital watch, but it also does something else.
That something else is the mechanized operation that changes the displayed time. Using 7 different panels for each number, the mechanized digital watch must actually change and move in order for the time to change. I would suspect that the wearer would be too distracted by the continuous movement of the watch to notice the time, though.
