Impractical LED watch is all bracelet, part timepiece

I'm entranced with the latest TokyoFlash impractical wristwatch from the future. The Shinshoku tells the time with a set of impenetrable color-coded LEDs that shine through holes in the metal mesh wristband. It requires that you rewire your brain to learn an entirely new time-telling system, which is good mental exercise, and it means that no one will ever ask to borrow your watch, except for fashion.
