Brace yourself when it comes to telling time with this fashionable, but somewhat confusing, timepiece because it might take a little practice. How much practice? It depends. What time is shown in the picture above? Waiting… waiting… waiting… okay, if you still haven’t figured out that it’s 4:14 then you might not be ready for binary time just yet.
Binary is the secret language of computers so it makes perfect sense for the clock-face to resemble a circuit board, and the leather band with stainless steel back makes for a stylish statement. Telling time is actually pretty easy too. There are 10 blue LEDS arranged in two rows. The top row shows hours (8-4-2-1) and the bottom row shows minutes (32-16-8-4-2-1). To find out what time it is, all you have to do is find the sum of the numbers that are lit up for each row.

Watch the puzzled looks appear when you calmly flash your LED Binary Watch and smoothly announce the time… with just a bit of smugness because you know everyone else is lost. It can be yours for $69.99 from ThinkGeek.
