LED Watch
What it is: A wrist watch that tells time in an innovative way, counting up tiny LED lights.
Why we love it: We admit, we at Surprise.com are very fond of strange time keeping devices, from the ultra digital to the very old fashioned. A clock or watch is such an ordinary, everyday item, we feel almost duty bound to have a little fun with it. We're just not willing to settle for a clock that just tells time, we want it to entertain, to innovate, and preferably to look stylish while doing so. The LED Colored Lights Watch is a perfect fit, combining an unusual style of time-keeping with a chic look. It may look a bit dizzying, but as long as you can count, you can tell time on the LED watch; the 12 large LEDs indicate the hour, and the sixty smaller lights count the minutes. It's a watch with equal appeal for the artsy or the techy, an elegant union of science, style, and pretty blinking lights. We only provide the warning that it's a bit hypnotic, your recipient may find themselves late for meetings because they spent too much time staring at their watch.
Who we'd give it to: Artsy types, watch lovers, technophiles.
Where to get it: From The MoMa Store for a blinking $275.00
