Handless, Numberless Timepiece - Odd Ball Minimalist Watch (GALLERY)
Odd Ball Minimalist Watch

No hands, numbers, markers, or LEDs—just a free-rolling tiny ball. So how does it tell time? Not very accurately. As you walk, the ball rolls around the watch face, then, when you bring your arm into a horizontal position, a magnet pulls the orb into place to indicate the time. As there is only one ball, it has to indicate both hours and minutes. This is a very unusual timepiece. If you’re into minimalism, not hung up on the exact time, and have a steady hand, this could be for you. 

If you’re looking to get some attention on the playground, I recommend an Abacus, a German, Erich Lacher Watch Factory time-piece that presents time by the wavering position of a ball. Ignoring the fact that you may miss appointments by a few minutes thanks to the, um, interpretive visuals delivered by the watch, this thing may represent the most immature representation of time since the cookoo clock, a fact further solidified by the watches refusal to tell time until the wearer is perfectly still.
