Gearheads will be forgiven for thinking that the Hayabusa concept watch is inspired by the iconic Suzuki motorcycle. Actually, this watch takes its look from the armor of the same name found in the game Halo 3. The watch has a face that is difficult to read at first glance, however, things get easier once you realize what the trick is.
For starters, hours are indicated by blocks in the center of the Hayabusa concept watch's face. Minutes are read on both borders of the watch and appear in number form. Spotting the minutes can be a bit tough, but once you know to look for the shape of digital numbers, things get easier. The Hayabusa concept watch was created by a designer named Peter and could go from concept to reality if it gets enough attention of the Tokyoflash Design Blog.
