Tokyo Flash’s ‘Rorschach ePaper Watch’ is a hard-to-read watch that tells time in a complex way.
If you’re someone who needs to see the time with just a quick glance at your wrist, this is likely not the watch for you. The watch isn't an analog one, but it doesn't even seem like a digital one either, because it's numbers are so abstract. But the watch is artful and mind-testing, challenging the wearer to decode the numbers within the inkblot-like images on its watchface.
The top right hand of the watch shows a representation of the hour and the bottom left shows the minutes. For even more of a challenge, wearers can switch from “easy” to “hard mode.” This would sure be one fun watch to wear for the next occasion someone asks you what time it is.
