i just ordered myself the Pimp Watch:
soon I'll combine the classic sensibilities of a 1950's street ninja with the dynamic flare of a 1970's street pimp.
the watch site is here and i ordered it from tokyoflash
how it tells time:
The time is displayed in 3 colors. The left side represents the hours and can be easily read by looking at the digits to the left of them. The minutes are displayed in 12 rows of 5, in green, yellow, and red, with each row representing 5 minutes, each light representing a minute. To count the minutes after 15 minutes it is easiest to start by looking at the competed red row(s) and then start counting from there. Each completed red row is a 15, 30, 45, 60 minute indicator. So 7:17 like the diagram below 15 plus 2 green lights making up 17. It is really almost as easy to tell the time as a regular analog watch.

I saw this watch on Tokyoflash a bit ago and wondered, 'who the hell would shell out $100+ for this thing?', now I know.

I got one and I can personally say I would have paid $300.00 for it. I can't even look at another watch after getting this. It is like meeting the girl of your dreams. Well worth it. If you are looking for a regular watch WALMART is close by, I'm sure.

Just tried to order one of these from tokyoflash...they sent confirmation, failed to process the order, didn't tell me, accused me of giving them the wrong information, then refused to apologise for screwing up the order! DON'T USE THIS SITE!! The worst customer service I've had in 4 years of buying online.
