Because I am the watch dude at work my colleague sent me this link

http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts-apparel/watches/

Amongst the goodies available there this one stood out

Unfortunatly it is not available yet!

Splendid chronometer from a more elegant 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 only it were really a clockwork watch. Batteries in 1875?

Why the fuck would they insult my countryman Tesla ???

The car is kickass but that watch fuckin ruins everything.

Make it a desk clock not a dam wristwatch.

no f'n way. That's just silly!

Ya know, in its own way, it's kinda cute. Can I take it seriously as a watch? Of course not. But, I do kind of like the steampunk, cutting edge Victorian technology aesthetic. And batteries in 1875? The Leyden jar was invented in 1745, the lead-acid battery in 1859, and the NiCad in 1899, so it's not that anachronistic. Besides, it's from Thinkgeek, I love that store.
