Made from a combination of maple and sandal wood, the Kisai Rogue SR2 Wood and Kisai Stencil Wood watches carry a cutting edge look while still employing a simple to read design. One of the most interesting things about these designs is that by using an eye-catching [LCD display](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casio-pro-trek-watches), Tokyoflash Japan is essentially redefining how people read time. The face of these watches display time in negative space and with LED back lighting, this alternative time display actually becomes very easy to read. Also featuring an alarm function, Tokyoflash Japan's designs are revolutionizing wrist watch fashion. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 19% | Activity: 66% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Fashion for Men](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashionformen) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **High-tech Wooden Accessories:** Combining natural materials with high-tech facades to create futuristic designs like illuminated wooden watches. - **Alternative Time Display:** Redefining how people read time with eye-catching LCD displays and LED backlighting. - **Revolutionizing Wrist Watch Fashion:** Using innovative designs and functions to change the way watches are perceived and worn. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion and Accessories:** Exploring new materials and designs to create unique and innovative fashion accessories. - **Technology:** Integrating high-tech features like LCD displays and LED backlighting into traditional products. - **Luxury Goods:** Offering a combination of luxury materials like wood with cutting-edge technology for unique and exclusive products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Robotic-Themed Retro Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airo-led.md) - [Stealthy Japanese Woodcraft Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mrgb2100b1a.md) - [Tubular Illuminating Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spacetime-blade.md) - [Minimal Dynamic Desk Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-desk-clock.md) - [Open-Concept Retro-Style Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amida-digitrend-open-sapphire.md) - [Rock-Textured Field Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiwame-tokyo-iwao-sumi.md) - [Rugged Fashion-Forward Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gshock-gsteel-gbm2100-series.md) - [Gold-Tonal Ring Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crw001g9jr.md) - [Artful Patterned Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mrgb2000kt3a.md)
