Pi Watch By Ben McCarthy

Designer Ben McCarthy and WORKSHOPPED have collaborated together on the Pi Watch. A designer timepiece that is the product of McCarthy, an award winning design who currently lives in Hong Kong, and has had his work showcased all over the world. My understanding is that this is McCarthy's first watch creation. WORKSHOPPED is based in Australia.

I don't have too many facts about the watch, but it is in steel with a sapphire crystal, and with a Japanese quartz movement. Not sure about the size. The watch is 30 meters water resistant and has a unique placement for the crown (accessible via the rear of the watch). The first 500 pieces in either the light gray or black straps will be individually numbered limited editions. The watches are being marketed as men's watches and do sort of have a masculine look to then. The polished metal dial has folds in it where the hour markers should be - an interesting design style. The hands are baton shaped with small holes at their tips, while a three hexagon logo sits as the 12 o'clock indicator. The strap is integrated into the case, so it does not require lugs. The brushed metal bezel is a nice compliment to the dial. Overall the watch is minimalistic in theme, but more artistic in style. Good thing it is functional too. Price is $430.00.

Jack Spade Pi Keychain

Filed under: Gadgets

Jack Spade is the male counterpart to the heavily female-centric line from designer Kate Spade. The Pi Keychain could certainly appeal to anyone, regardless of gender. The ring and the key on it, which is un-filed, are both made of sterling silver and the ring is engraved with the first twenty-one digits of the number pi: 3.14159265358979323846. It is a subtly flashy keychain, perfect for those who don't like to have unnecessarily large things dangling with they keys. Price: $90.
