Oobject, a neat visual directory of gadgets, has an interesting list of Memento mori watches. Memento Mori, latin for "Remember that you will die," is an art genre that span a wide range of styles, but has one purpose: to remind you of your own mortality.

This one above, the Skull and Bones pocket watch, is listed by Miles Pocket Watches as an original creation based on a form of watches made nearly two centuries ago.

    I see this as being very popular with "emo" or "goth" kids.

    Id buy one if not for the price tag, way too steep

    It reminds me of an epitaph. I don't remember the whole epitaph, but the beginning is "quod sum eris" - what I am, you will be.

    No thanks I don't need to be reminded that I will die.
