i-pattern by i-pattern at Tokyoflash

This is another of my strange LCD watches. It looks so unusual that two shop assistants at an art concept store in Tokyo (a home of interesting watches) were asking where it was from!
The watch is called the i-pattern and tells the time by filling up bars on the display. The top half of the screen is the hours and the bottom half is minutes (in groups of 5 which fill from the middle). The 60th minute marker flashes to show seconds, and the centre of the circle shows am (empty) and pm (filled). There is also an alternate display for date & day (using the markers), and day & seconds (two letters from the day, and numbers). The watch also has an electroluminescent back-light.
This watch was sold by Tokyoflash (but now discontinued) , and I purchased mine in the Tokyoflash store Two-0-Two in Yokosuka (south of Yokohama).
