All hilarity aside, the Sand Time Watch from designer Pavel Balykin is one of the most stunning timepieces around. If you play a lot of Pictionary, Scatagories, or other board games where a timer is needed, then this watch would certainly fit into your wardrobe. The display features the time like a basic clock would, but when put into screensaver mode, the watch turns into a virtual sand timer that mimics grains of sand dropping down to the bottom of an hourglass; in this case a minute glass.

Though currently just a concept, these watches may be making their way to the market some time during 2007. If so, you’ll be able to scoop one up in metallic orange, blue, or silver.
