Concord C1 Quantum Gravity watch

We’re still trying to wrap our heads around some of the indecipherable verbiage the company has used to describe it, but it looks like Concord’s C1 QuantumGravity watch is at last very much real, and one step closer to actually being available (to a very select few).

As you can see above, while there’s still a few finishing touches remaining, the watch itself is pretty faithful to all those early renders that the company has been teasing us with since January, right down to the magical “fluorescent nanoparticle liquid” that’s used to indicate the life remaining in the 3-day power reserve. Those curious about all things mechanical and tiny can also get a look at the complete build process by hitting up the read link below, or simply head on past the break for a video full of much spinning and unnecessary Matrix-style imagery.

Panasonic DMC GH1

As the release date of the Panasonic’s DMC GH1 draws ever close to April 24, we get more and more excited about it. After all, you must admit that the red color it comes in looks extremely sexy, but is the design worth the tradeoff of a $1,500 price point? At the very least you will find the G1 come with a video capture mode as well as perform various functions in which both Nikons and Canons cannot – that is, capturing 1080p video at 24fps in addition to continuous contrast-based autofocus with a silent-focusing lens.

Canon 5D Mark II Flash Drive

Miniatures are always fun to look at, and here we have the Canon 5D Mark II that not only looks cute when shrunk down to such a level, it also boasts the added functionality of being a highly portable USB flash drive as well, holding up to 4GB of information. While the real thing costs a wallet-thumping $3,500, this one is going on eBay with a starting bid of $95.

Alien-like Speakers

These all-in-one speakers by Erick Sakal are actually a multifunctional dock-enabled system with modern wireless capabilities.

The concept is extremely mind-boggling to the eyes, introducing multi-functionality without taking up precious space that is very much appreciated in this day and age. A subwoofer is integrated into the center quite discreetly, while a couple of side tweeters and a prime speaker on top rounds off the list of features in addition to Bluetooth connectivity for a truly wireless lifestyle. No final word on pricing has been given yet.
