While gadgets aren’t always our thing, we’re watch tragics. And the Retsu by Saishin, despite being a simple gadget, looks like a very cute watch.

Weighing in at 40g and only 8mm thin, it’s tiny, but the time telling mechanism is fascinating, and simpler than you’d think. Green LEDs dance up the face of the watch and, well, you can see how it works in the image.

Clever, but possibly not incredibly practical. If the time was 23:59, you could be staring at the thing for a few seconds before you got the whole story.

But despite lacking the no nonsense retro HH:MM reading of the classic 70’s LED watch, it’s still easier to read than many of its experimental LED contemporaries.
