Telling time is no great joy, but you may soon be able to jazz it up a bit with the new Ex-Time watch. The futuristic timepiece displays time to the second, as well as showing the current date, but it stands out for its advanced projecting capabilities.
Resembling a cool Bond watch, it can create a nice time tattoo on your wrist, or launch a mini show on a nearby surface, and it can also shoot time out into the dark. Its slick bracelet design comes straight out of sci-fi movies – although there is an unpleasant association with hospital wrist bands.
The novel idea belongs to designer Rong Yong, but unfortunately it is still a prototype; we will definitely be looking out for its debut in the market.
