Binary watch

Long ago I asked my friend to tell me what the binary number system is. Because I'm a girl far from any technical refinements and subtleties, my friend thought of the answer. "Well, you know ... it’s like love - either there is or not, and nothing can be done with it. In general, the numbers are encoded by number one or zero. One - there is a signal, zero – is no signal."
And this is with binary watches. Perhaps by turning them around, you say to yourself, "Well, head and share the same rubbish. And what can we do?” Or, (and this version is most likely) seeing and holding it in your hands, you'll want to figure out what it is, "what you can eat with," and of course you want to buy this kind of watch. Well, for my part, and because of its technical skills and opportunities, I will try to tell (and show) what kind of beast is a binary watch. So, as you understand, "binary" means, that is displayed with only two elements. If you are still not clear what it is, remember the great "cypher" Samuel Morse, who used to send letters of the alphabet by telegraph of the two characters - the dots and dashes.

Modern binary watch also definitely encode the date and time. At first sight for ignorant man it will be quite difficult to figure out that are all these crazy flashing LEDs. You ask, "What LEDs? And where is a dial, hands, or at least e-numbers?". Caution: in search of numbers and hands do not attempt to break in or to open the watch.
To display the time (and in some models and data) in binary watch are used glowing neon points located in separate groups. Location of LEDs groups, their size and colors are unique to each particular watch model.

Originally binary watch was created to conduct scientific experiments. Later, in the years 1920-1940, a Japanese professor Hivari was working on issues of forgetfulness and confusion in the elderly. Despite of the well-known fact about the long duration of life of the Japanese, when they reach a certain age, this problem becomes very important. As a trainer for memory enhancement a professor invited his patients to use his advanced binary watch which displays time with points and sticks. The results were quite impressive. After just three months, pensioners used such watches in everyday life, were marked by significant improvements in memory and attention.

Thus, in the present binary watch is called any watch with an unconventional way to display the time: through points, inverted digits or characters. The invention and further development of diode technology (LED) made it possible to produce a binary wrist watch with an unlimited number of LEDs to display the time.

Certainly, at the moment the binary watch, resembling a piece of equipment of a modern astronaut, is one of the most remarkable and perhaps even eccentric accessories.

Undoubtedly, the world leader in production of binary wrist watches is Japan, and the other would be just awesome. In addition, some German companies also produce such watches. And "budget" market of binary watches is China, but usually it is a copy and imitation of famous brands.

World of time puzzles by Tokyo Flash. Watches for those who like to think about time.

"Do you think what is it?" - I asked my friends and acquaintances in social networks by posting photos of one of the last of the original (like always) development of the company Tokyo Flash. Binary Shinshoku watch, made in form of a bracelet of metal covered holes in which to determine the time needed to count the number of dots of different colors. I must say that the offered versions were very diverse, some of them even made me smile.

Maybe it's the alarm?
In appearance it is very similar to the watch.
Maybe this is a watch? Any special? For example watch for the blind?...
My old acquaintance, a programmer, who was few years living in Thailand, destroyed an intrigue. "Binary watch", - he said, and put the smiley face. "Binary" - I corrected, and told the rest of what the watch and the principle on which it works.
Each issue of binary wrist watches, manufactured by the Japanese company Tokyo Flash, is strictly limited. Some watches are issued as corporate gifts or gifts for customers and employees by order of a company.

Every time when a company Tokyo Flash presents another new product, watch world gasps in surprise, and fans of puzzles rather rubbing their hands. "IT pros" and programmers find another topic for discussion with colleagues over a cup of coffee in the morning, and the "advanced" men know exactly what they ask for or they will order a gift for Christmas or another celebration of second half. You never know what inspired the designers of the company with the release of the next watches: the last film about James Bond or a new sci-fi thriller. In any case, we can only envy their inexhaustible imagination. Watch with the name "1000100101" - is not a accessory of FBI special agent?

A minimalist watch Tokyo Flash, manufactured with stylistic elements used in the film "Tron" and "Space Odyssey 2001", will now surely inspire directors, writers and producers to create new movies. I do not exclude the possibility that some models of binary wrist watch Tokyo Flash can be used as props during filming of some regular sci-fi saga. Interestingly, does George Lucas wear such a watch, the director of "Star Wars"? Personally, I have an association with this film when I saw binary watches Tokyo Flash Kisai Satellite Watch.
