Mugen (meaning "infinity" in Japanese) is the second watch from Futara Studio. It shares the same case design as it's cousin, the Zero-G watch, but with a totally new way of displaying the time.

Available in either Black or Silver & with a mirrored blue LCD display it tells the time via a series of spiraling blocks. Around the outer edges are 60 segments, indicating 1 minute each. They are grouped in 10's so it's easy to tell the time at a glance. The inner spiral of blocks represent 1 hour each.

This is one of those watches that at first it seems impossible to tell the time, but once you understand how it works it's fairly simple. Within a few days of using it you can tell the time just as fast as a traditional wall clock.

The LCD display is mirrored with blue tinted segments. Since the display is "always on" there is no need to push a button to see the time.

This watch also has an animation feature. Once a minute, the display spirals all the way off & all the way on, then settles back onto the current time. (see the animated graphic at the top of the page for the effect) Since this is not a LED light effect, it does not drain battery power nor is it too distracting.

Another notable feature of this watch is it's small size & weight. The strap is a svelte 1.5mm thick, barely more than a Dime & it weighs just 60 grams.
