5-face watch knows the time no matter where you are
technabob — I was looking for a gift at Diesel and came across these sweet new (albeit behemoth) watches that have not one, not two, but FIVE faces to handle your different time zones.They’ve got a spot for LA, NY, London, Paris, and Tokyo. While I applaud this concept, I have two concerns which I must raise. The first concern is for those people whose travel lives are not so banally predictable as to include only these five cities.

Available for $550 and $495 respectively. [Diesel via Technabob via Boing Boing Gadgets] ...

Diesel's Five Faced Watch Confuses, Amuses
Wired: Gadget Lab — When a product's description starts out with the words "This style is sure to be a conversation piece", you know you're in trouble. So it is with Diesel's new DZ9024, a watch featuring five faces, each with its own movement and – presumably – its own battery. The $550 watch might at first seem to be just the thing for the international playboy -- you can hop from continent to continent and never have to work out such difficult sums as "What's seven minus two?". But, in practice, these things are utterly useless. Worse, they actually make telling the time harder. I have a watch with two dials, and setting them to anything other than ...
