The Hanko Watch is a Fun and Futuristic Way to Tell Time

— October 6, 2010 — Fashion
If you want to impress your friends with a watch that looks straight from the future, then you need to check out Tokyoflash's Hanko Watch. This stainless steel watch has a face designed after a Japanese signature stamp and uses colored LED lights to display the time.

I was able to get my hands on the Hanko watch, and let me tell you, it is every bit as complicated and cool as it looks. Even the packaging for the Hanko watch is awesome -- how many watches do you know come in a box with a dragon on it?

However, I can definitely say that learning to use and wearing the Hanko watch are a lot cooler than the box. The Hanko watch makes telling time fun and interactive. Its unique and futuristic design is sure to turn a few heads.

If you're tired of bland and boring timepieces, check out the Hanko Watch in the gallery above.
Trend Themes
1. Fun Timepieces - Watches that prioritize fun and interactivity over tradition and simplicity, such as Tokyoflash's Hanko Watch allow for more unique designs and alternative ways to tell time.
2. Futuristic Watch Designs - Watches inspired by science-fiction and futuristic themes, like Tokyoflash's Hanko Watch, that use unconventional methods to display and interact with information.
3. Personalized Watch Packaging - Incorporating unique and creative packaging like the dragon-adorned box for the Hanko Watch, can set a product apart and enhance the customer experience.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion Accessories - Consumer demand for unique and personalized fashion accessories like the Hanko Watch presents an opportunity for designers to create unconventional yet functional items.
2. Gift and Novelty Items - Products like the Hanko Watch that combine practicality with novelty and fun make for great gift items and could disrupt the traditional gift-giving market.
3. Gaming and Entertainment - Interactive and unique designs seen in the Hanko Watch could also have a place in the gaming and entertainment industries, perhaps for game mechanics or digital wearables.
