The Kisai Spider is a new [transparent LED watch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/visual-instruments-phantom) from Tokyoflash. The Spider's unique face is designed to look like a spider's web. It is always on and displays the time in a series of four [hexagonal rings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casio-crw0011jr). The numbers go from biggest to smallest, hours to minutes, and are a bit tough to read at first.

Like many new releases from Tokyoflash, the Kisai Spider was first featured on the company's design blog. The transparent LCD screen allows you to see your wrist, and the [always-on design of the watch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casio-pro-trek-watches) means that you'll never have to activate an LED to tell the time. That being said, there is an LED light that can be activated to tell time in the dark. The Kisai Spider is available now for $179.
