Tokyoflash Launches Kisai Radioactive and Vortex Wood

Posted: 23 Sep 2015 02:26 AM PDT

Kisai Radioactive Wood 01

Tokyoflash never ceases to impress with its cryptic ways of telling time. Each of its designs seems to be a riddle that takes a bit of time to get the answer, and these two are no exception.

Kisai Radioactive Wood and Kisai Vortex Wood, as their name suggests, are available in a natural dark sandalwood case with a matching strap. While most watch makers turn to steel or plastic for their timepieces, Tokyoflash proves to be a tad more original and classy. With that being said, there still are several differences between the two models that could determine future owners to prefer one over the other. The differences result not only from the design, but also from the way the time is displayed. The name of each product is suggestive, in this case, too, with one looking a lot like a nuclear control panel, while the other one resembles a time vortex a la Doctor Who.

The watchmaker reminds people that due to the natural properties of wood, the watches may appear lighter or darker in real life than in these photos. In other words, not only is this a limited edition watch, but each one of them will have a unique color and grain.

Gone are the days when you had to swap the battery of your watch with a new one. Tokyoflash’s timepieces come with a built-in battery that recharges over USB in 3.5 hours and lasts about 1 month, depending on usage patterns.

Unlike some of their more complicated designs, Kisai Radioactive Wood is quite easy to read, so if anyone asks you what time it is, you will be able to give an answer quickly.

Vortex Wood, on the other hand, poses a challange. With such features as two time zones, seconds, date, alarm, animation, LED light-up, audio feedback and touch screen operation, this timepiece is well worth the money.

This particular watch is available in two version, depending on the color of the display.

Hence, you can opt for a blue or red LED, depending on your taste.

Since it comes with a leather band, it is far more easy to adjust than the Kisai Radioactive Wood, and in my humble opinion, it even looks better.

Both Kisai Radioactive Wood and Vortex Wood can be purchased at the special release price of $109 (€97, £69) until 24th September at 11am Japan time. It is possible to get an additional discount of $4 by

Harry Potter shirt

The t-shirt, an inextricable part of the geek wardrobe. These models are made for geeks who can see the fun in what they love the most.

Gaming Shirts

Mega Man Running and Gunning T-Shirt

Of course the Blue Bomber, Capcom’s most well-known character (sorry Resident Evil guys) was going to star a few shirts of his own. We’re partial to this one, both classic and classy, featuring the beautiful pixel art we remember from way back when. It can be yours for as little as $10 dollars.

Classically Trained Controller Shirt

Wait, what did you think “classically trained” referred to? This throwback to the glory days of the NES and the late 80s is perfect for those of us that believe Castlevania, Mario and Contra were at their best when they were the simplest. This one costs as little as $9.95.

Link’s Lawn Service Women’s T-Shirt Gaming Retro Funny Zelda Tee


This one is for the ladies in the room, but there’s also a version for men. We might remember Link for epic feats such as traveling through time or stopping the moon from falling, but the truth is a huge portion of any Legend of Zelda video game is spent mowing the lawn, sword in hand – and that makes this shirt hilarious and so on point. Get it for as little as $9.95.

Star Wars Shirts

The Imperial March Star Wars T-Shirt

A fantastic option for geeks of all type, but especially for the musically inclined, the shirt has artwork taken straight from one of the early Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope scenes along with the notes to the iconic Imperial March. It even features lyrics, man. You can buy it for $12.05.

Science T-Shirts

Noble Gases t-shirt


helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe) and radon (Rn) are different from other gasses. You might even say they’re a class above, the aristocracy among chemical elements, literally noble gases. And that’s why they should dress accordingly as in this t-shirt. Each one costs as little as $18.99.

Never Trust an Atom They Make Up Everything T-Shirt

The concept is fantastic. Atoms truly DO make up everything, and if we were to get into quantum physics, even, everything sounds like absolute gibberish to untrained ears. You can buy this shirt for $10.99.
