The BLACKEST watch in the world---- very cool

http://www.gq.com/story/mct-vantablack-watch

Hope its ok to post this link. Very cool video on the watch, and when you click on the piece of tinfoil, its amazing, looks like a black hole. Maybe rolex will make a watch with this material.

watch will set you back 95,000.

That's very interesting.

Although this isn't a perfect example, I was just reading about black bodies last night.
"A black body is an idealized physical body that absorbs all incident electromagnetic radiation, regardless of frequency or angle of incidence."

That's pretty black alright.
