Starship Enterprise Watch

Here’s one more item inspired by the Star Trek franchise. This time it’s a futuristic timepiece designed by Arny Kapshitzer, a big fan of Star Trek, himself. His latest creation, known as the HMS Automatic Warp Watch, features some interesting similarities with the strship Enterprise.

Now, don’t expect this thing to teleport you to some other worlds. Anyhow, most of the body and mechanisms are made out of carbon fiber, and the perfluorinated, hypoallergenic rubber wristband is impervious to "all acids," according to the designer. Acids? Wait; is this going to become standard gear for the future marines pitted against those swarms of Aliens?

Gizmodo informs that the designer factored in the natural asymmetry of the human arm, and made the crown side of the watch thicker so it would fit almost perfectly. The new breed of rubber that makes up the band is also used to seal the watch, and Kapshitzer guarantees it’ll last for 50 years.

OK, it looks cool and all that, but does it actually tell the time? Located eccentrically towards the right of the dial, a cut-away metal piece reveals the jumping hours and minutes on two superimposed discs. The seconds are displayed in the 3 o'clock area on a cylinder linked directly to the crown. The 9 o'clock area of the dial forms the tail of the “spaceship.”

Alright, Data, set course for Earth 2, warp 9!
