# Fire-Fueling Timepieces This Watch Lighter is a Functional and Fun Party Trick By Jen Chae | Published 2013-08-14 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/watch-lighter References: [fancy](http://fancy.com/things/280265770594731627/Watch-Lighter) This watch lighter is sure to surprise onlookers. On the exterior, it looks like a regular leather-strapped wrist watch, but a refillable butane lighter hides in its interior. The watch lighter serves both a functional and fashionable purpose, concealing a flame generator in the form of the timepiece. To use, just pull on the trigger-like knob on the side of the circle watch face. The flame sparks from a small hole above the 12-o'clock number on the watch dial. Because of its built-in liquid tank, the watch is a bit thicker in appearance. A great example of a uncommon 2-in-1 product, this watch lighter will be sure to shock people when put into use wherever you go. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 38% | Activity: 63% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Fashion for Men](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashionformen) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Dual-function Products:** The combination of a watch and lighter creates an opportunity for the development of more unique and functional products. - **Concealed Technology:** The trend of hiding technology within everyday items, like a watch, can lead to new and inconspicuous innovations. - **Novelty Items:** The popularity of this watch lighter as a party trick shows that there is a market for fun and unusual products that serve both aesthetic and functional purposes. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** By combining fashion with function in unexpected ways, there is an opportunity to create new and innovative products that appeal to a wide range of consumers. - **Gadgets and Accessories:** The success of this watch lighter demonstrates a demand for unique and useful gadgets and accessories. - **Hospitality and Entertainment:** This watch lighter could be a hit in the hospitality and entertainment sectors as a party trick or novelty item. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pea-Inspired Whimsical Lighter Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tabletop-lighter.md) - [Inflation-Themed Lighters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moneylighter.md) - [Premium Windproof Lighters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yellow-flame-butane.md) - [Minimalistic Slim Lighters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/two-tone-minimal-lighter.md) - [Quirky Common Item Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/table-lamp-lighter.md) - [Animated Show-Inspired Butane Torches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/butane-torch.md) - [Ruggedly Compact Titanium Multi-Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/titanium-multitools.md) - [Breath-Activated Flameless Lighters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clean-torch.md) - [Slick Rechargeable Lighters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rechargeable-lighter.md)
