The Ring Clock

Always interesting to see variations on traditional watches/clocks. Maybe a cool accessory?

Very clever... Don't think you can get it wet though.

Certainly, a conversation starter.

I'm not going to run out and get one, but I'm interested in timekeeping mechanisms of all sorts.

Nobody can get one...yet that is.
An indigogo campaign for funding. Even though they've been seeded, it's been know for projects to die out without delivering product.

My father-in-law would be all over this!

Am I missing the price?

I've also been considering the NOMOS sundial as a cool novelty for him.


EDIT: Found the price (a lot cheaper than I had thought) but it appears to still be in beta like 77t said.

That is a completely novel concept, as far as I am aware. Very cool!

Interesting!

My wife asked if this is a clock ring for the hand/finger or a ring for another area of the male body to time a specific activity?
