The Keypad Hidden Time Watch sets itself apart from other watches by its unique way of showing time. And it’s also a “conversation starter” and that’s true as people who see this on your wrist will definitely ask, “What the hell is that?”

To check the time, you just have to press any of the number keys and the time will light up, a digit at a time. It’s certainly unique, but we believe many will get tired of it. As you might agree with us, people sometimes look at their watches when they are late and frustrated, and the last thing they want to do is to follow the lighted keys to know the time. But it may help to improve your patience.

The 10-key Number Pad Watch is available in classic keyboard ivory and black colors, and it comes with a price tag of $99.99.

Picture God taking a peek at the universe, rotating planets with his mighty arms, going from the Earth to Jupiter with a single gesture, and speeding, slowing and reversing time with the movement of an index finger. That will look somewhat like what Microsoft Surface researcher David Brown is doing in the clip below with his superb space app dubbed NUIverse. The app is simply marvellous!

From the demonstration, you will get to know about the awesome multi-touch capabilities of Microsoft Surface and the computational power of the Samsung SUR40 which runs NUIverse (anagram of the word universe and NUI stands for natural user interface, in case you didn’t notice).

If you own a smartphone, you might be familiar with a lot of NUI gestures such as grabs, twists and swipes. You will find all those being used by Brown, but the new app is much more than that. He is utilizing gestures to move about in the universe in both time and space, and using on-screen dials for controlling effects such as the camera FOV and the passage of time. He is even using transparent disks which can be placed on the screen and moved. The disk provides him with details of the objects it covers.

But, a good video is sometimes better than a thousand words, right? So, head below to know more about the app.

The thing, on which it runs, by the way, comes with a price tag of $9,049 (including the stand). The application is not slowed down at any point all thanks to the power of the SUR40. And we are not sure whether the app will be available commercially, but we might see it used for educational purposes in the future. It will be great if they release the program for planetariums.

You can close your mouth now and check out another video which shows the on-screen action of the app in use. The music in this video is kinda cool.

“Time flows like a river. Time is endless. It continues from the past to present and later on to the future.”

What a profound statement that really puts time, life and our experiences into perspective. As much as some of us wish that we could just have a few seconds to catch our breath, time does not stop for anything, it continues toward an endless purpose and expects everyone to try to keep up. It is up to us to find value in the moments that we are granted.

This is essentially the philosophy behind the Memory Time Watch by Wonjune Song; it challenges the limits that we have put on time by associating it with 12 numbers. The eye-catching piece “expresses the essence of time” by having a dark face dial, that represents the value of time gone by, gradually working to cover the inner mechanics of the watch as the day goes on. It looks something like a steampunk Casio G-Shock, with its exposed inner gears, which is definitely a unique look and will attract some attention and curiousity. I don’t think we are in for a significant change in our method of measuring time, so as for the majority of consumers who don’t want to be late for every other scheduled appointment, stick to simple digits.
