Retro Robot Timepieces

The EOBOT Watch is Inspired by the Mechanical Monsters from the 1950s

— January 6, 2012 — Fashion
The EOBOT watch is a conceptual timepiece designed for fans of old-school sci-fi films. The watch was designed by an Australian by the name of Lloyd and has been submitted to the TokyoFlash design blog.

The EOBOT watch has a unique face that consists of LED lights that form the shape of a retro robot. The lights are arranged in columns that allow you to tell time at a glance. Like all TokyoFlash watches and concepts, the EOBOT watch will take a little time to get used to. Still, it's one of the smartest and nerdiest watches out there and would be perfect for sci-fi fans both young and old. Lloyd's design is currently still a concept, but if it gets enough votes on the blog then it'll go into production.
