Vlad Icobet's Shine

— May 7, 2008 — Luxury
The Shine, designed by Vlad Icobet, is a high tech watch which combines luxury and fashion with advanced materials. The concept watch, which is made of ceramic filled with white gemstones, uses an advanced touch-sensitive laser technology system.

This is what I'd call bangin' high-tech bling.

If you want to see the time of day, simply touch the logo to activate the unique laser projection system.
