# Laser-Emitting Watches The LaserWatch Displays the Time and Emits Lasers By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2014-11-24 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laserwatch References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/laserwatch-laser-wrist-watch/34867/) & [laser-gadgets](http://www.laser-gadgets.com/laserguns.php) The LaserWatch is a watch that spews a [burning laser](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laserabc-laser-show-projector). It really is that simple, and that bad-ass. The watch does display the time of course, but its real calling card and unique selling point is the fact that it is capable of spewing laser. The LaserWatch was inspired by now-legendary German laser weapon creator Patrick Priebe, who wanted to create a watch that was inspired by [James Bond](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-x-citizen-rebel-starfighter-boxed-set). By the looks of it, the LaserWatch is something 007 himself would be proud to own. The device has a [machined metal body, carbon fiber face](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/durable-luxury-watches-the-new-full-metal-gshock-models-are-rugged-but-eleg), LED watch module and, most importantly, a 1,500-milliwatt laser. The laser is activated by pushing down on a brass button, and powered by a lithium-polymer battery located in the wrist strap. Priebe usually doesn't sell his creations, but rumors are he may be tempted to make an exception for the LaserWatch, which he says would not go for sale for less than $300. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 30% | Activity: 45% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Laser-emitting Gadgets:** Opportunity to create more consumer electronics with laser-emitting capabilities. - **James Bond-inspired Products:** Potential for developing a range of products inspired by the iconic spy franchise. - **High-powered Laser Technology:** Innovation opportunities in utilizing high-powered lasers for various applications. ### Where This Applies - **Consumer Electronics:** Disruptive potential to introduce laser-emitting features in various gadgets. - **Luxury Goods:** Opportunity to create high-end, James Bond-inspired products for affluent consumers. - **Defense and Security:** Potential for advanced laser technologies in the defense and security industries. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Galaxy-Inspired Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ur-100v-lightspeed.md) - [Tubular Illuminating Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spacetime-blade.md) - [Lunar Dust-Infused Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunar1622.md) - [Angular Automobile-Inspired Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/benly-design-s3000-cyber-watch.md) - [Crowdfunded EDC Flashlights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lazsaber-ls1.md) - [Long-Range Laser Flashlights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lumitwin-dl700.md) - [Luminous Ceramic Wristwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/c1-bel-canto-lumire.md) - [Moondust-Made Minimal Wristwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunar1622-watch.md) - [Autonomous Solar-Powered Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exoskeleton-solar-watches.md)
