Few gadgets make me geek out as much as [TokyoFlash's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airo-led) Kinsai Escape C. The very cool Area 51 inspired audio-enabled pendant utilizes bluetooth tech which enables the user to stream music from their cellphone without missing a call.

Since TokyoFlash has built their reputation on [killer timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spaceone-worldtimer), the Kinsai Escape C's [saucer shaped surface](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gav01-series) has embedded blue LEDs that display time all throughout the gamma quadrant, which makes this time-telling pendant out of this world.

**Implications** - The Tokyoflash Kisai Escape C Timepiece has not been given a definitive release date, but according to the grapevine, the first quarter of 2010 is a likely target. The Kisai Escape C Timepiece is expected to retail between $150 and $180 USD.
