The Tesla Watch Is a Work of Steampunk Chronometer Art

View fullsize

Think Geek has unveiled a new product they are selling called the Tesla Watch, and it's pretty damn cool! It includes a weathered brass look with two vacuum tube-style LED bulbs on top. It has a perfect steampunk style feel to it, now all it needs is the function to travel through time. 

Tesla came up with all sorts of inventions and has sort of become the poster scientist for awesomeness now. Sure he wasn't perfect. Sure he was a bit crazy. But he was always on time for his appointments. (Ed. note: We made that up.) And now you can be, too, with the new Tesla Watch.

The Tesla Watch goes with your steampunk aesthetic. With a weathered-brass look on all the metal parts, this analog watch features a leather strap. The highlights of this design, however, are the two faux vacuum tubes with red LEDs inside that you can turn on and off with the flick of a switch. Everybody will want to ask you what time it is so they can see your watch. Just remember to follow the answer with, "... 1875."

If you want to buy one, it will cost you $59.99.
