I've always loved clocks and watches that require a little brainpower to figure out what time it is. I guess that's why I have a soft spot for Nooka (most famous for their Zot watch). Their newer line is the Zen line, and the Zen-V is a real conversation piece.There are three "bars" on the watch. The first two have six ticks each, and they represent the hour (e.g. all six ticks marked on the left-most bar and two ticks on the middle bar is 8:00). The third bar is more of a gauge/thermometer type of readout, with markings next to it from 0 to 60, and that tells you the minutes portion of the time. Luckily, to make things a little simpler, the seconds are shown in a simple digital display on the right side of the watch.
