Tokyo Flash Watches - Change the way you think about time

Please visit the style blog for the latest articles.

Prepare yourself for something a little different. If you're becoming increasingly bored of dated timepieces and analogue and digital watches just aren't cutting the mustard, let us introduce you to Tokyo Flash watches. Designed and produced in Japan, Tokyo Flash watches are innovative, challenging pieces that have been developed to 'change the way you think about time'.

Tokyo Flash Watches - Japanese style

Japan is well know for it's design culture and Tokyo Flash wristwear embodies everything the West has come to know Japan for - pioneering, cutting edge, futuristic and exciting. Their timewear is different from anything you'll have seen before. Ditching the traditional way to tell time, Tokyo Flash have invented a whole new way of time-telling with the use of Light Emitting Diode's (LED's). Reading the time on a Tokyo Flash watch is equivalent to a mental workout, whilst it doesn't take the brain of Einstein, it certainly requires a bit more effort than simply looking at 2 hands or reading some digits! New watch owners can familiarise themselves with their timepiece via a special manual, which comes with each design to enable the time-telling process. This unique LED concept has effectively created a niche group, in which only the owners of a Tokyo Flash watch can tell the time - it's a bit like a secret club, which all traditional time-tellers are excluded from!.

    Tokyo Flash Watches - How to tell the time

    Tokyo Flash's futuristic concept means digits and numerals are largely disposed of. Shade Station has many different designs of Tokyo Flash watches and all of them display unique fascias with different ways to tell the time. Below are various ways in which time can be read Tokyo Flash style:

  • Through a matrix of punched out holes, which are illuminated by LED's and flash in varying patterns to display the time.
  • Bars of horizontal and vertical LED lights, which flash in groups to tell the hour, minute or second.
  • A circle of connecting LED bars, designed to look similar to a radar.
  • Rings of flashing LED's.
  • Tri-coloured LED's, pulsate across uniquely shaped cells.
  • Vertical rows of digits, illuminated in sequences.
  • Traditional analogue, with hands but no digits.

Tokyo Flash Watch designs are sleek and attractive using strong use of colour and pattern, generally on dark backgrounds. In this way they create very cool looking wristwear for intelligent men and women who embrace their individuality.
