These watches from Tokyo Street take three novel approaches to telling time: one draws a target, the other makes a graph, and the last displays ants. Glowing, inscrutable little ants.
The Ever-Increasing watch slowly draws a graph of the time which, though it displays what some might call a rather predictable function, gets the point across just fine. The SCOPE II is more direct: a small targeting reticle locks onto the current time, which is arranged among a bunch of incorrect ones. Then there's the ANT.
It's not clear what each of the the ANT watch's ants symbolize, but if you take for granted that they probably correlate somehow to the current time, then you can accept that it's at least a useful icebreaker. The SCOPE II and Ever Increasing watches are priced at $180 and the ANT at $120 from Japanese ??berimporter and Gizmodo Gallery suppoter Gizmine. [Tokyo Street at Gizmine]

Posted by on under steam engine, popular resources, ants, renewable energy, underdog, earth |

Renewable energy is getting a lot of overdue attention, most of which goes to popular resources such as wind and solar. There is, however, an underdog that you may not have heard of: geothermal power. Geothermal literally means heat from the earth and that is exactly what geothermal power plants harness. While there is not [...]
