Invicta Professional Speedway

Any great IT professional knows that technology is always changing. With the advancements in time-keeping, there’s no reason any up-and-coming IT professional should be without the latest and greatest wrist watch. Here are a few selections that are perfect for those in the technology field:

1. Touch Screen Watch – Kenneth Cole

The stainless steel band and case of this watch eliminates any feeling of geek and replaces it with sleek. Using a unique digi-touch technology, the watch is water-resistant, can tell you the time in 32 different world cities and has the following features: backlight, date calendar, alarm clock and time. Perhaps best of all, this digital watch has eliminated the need for a degree in rocket science to set it.

2. V 10K – Rado

This watch won’t perform any technological miracles but it is reportedly the hardest watch on earth which makes it pretty darn cool. The curved diamond crystal face is scratch and chip proof. Wearers have reported wearing the watch through all manner of physical activity, from mountain biking to construction, with any sign of wear to the watch.

3. Tima – Jonathon Cohlmeyer

Originally a concept watch, the Tima has finally been released to the public to critical acclaim. With integrated apps and a wide face, the watch is both stylish and futuristic without being over-the-top. The watch is both analog and digital, displaying both at the same time in e-ink technology.

4. F1/Carbon GMT – John Pszeniczny

Made of carbon fiber, rubber, metal and Swarovski crystal, the watch takes its inspiration from Formula 1 racing. With 18 rubies, the watch will give you the time of each of the 18 cities on the facing circuit. Taking the racing theme just one step further, the watch features a lap time function and a stopwatch. The black strap and striking display will look at home on any modern wrist; whether you’re a race car driver or the go-to computer guy.

5. Faceless – 100% Company

Designer Hironao Tsuboi has created an amazing watch that doesn’t look like a watch at all. Imagine the surprise on their faces when you turn your “bracelet” on to display the time! These watches look like a silver metal watch band traveling around your wrist without a face. Push a button and the time is displayed in LED right within the band.

6. Zihotch Retro Phone Watch – Maywadenki

If you’re looking for a watch that the guy in the next cubicle won’t have, this one is it! The rotary face of the watch mimics that of an old phone. What time is it? Dial 117 on your watch to find out. Dial the wrong number and the phone will tell you, “We are sorry, the number you dialed is not in service. Please check and call again.” We bet you’ll be dialing the wrong number just to hear your watch speak!

7. Infection – TokyoFlash

You thought you learned how to tell time way back when, didn’t you? You may want to re-learn when you strap this watch to your wrist! There are no numbers on the Infection, only a series of LEDs. 12 red LEDs represent hours, 11 yellow indicate five minutes and four green LEDs represent single minutes. Good thing you’re in IT; we don’t know if anyone else would be able to figure this fun watch out!

For IT professionals, it’s all about the tech. Any of these new watches will suit you in your new profession perfectly. From the ultra modern to the fabulously retro, there’s a watch to suit your style to a “T”.
