New Independent Watches from Tokyoflash are GORGEOUS!

Posted by Alex in Fashion, Gadget, Pictures on July 16, 2009 at 1:02 pm

As you all know, I’m a big fan of Tokyoflash and their nigh-unreadable watches (unless you’re a major geek and can count in binary in your sleep, of course). So it’s with great pleasure for me to tell you that Tokyoflash is featuring some new watch designs from Independent (very limited quantity). They told me that these designs are some of the best they’ve ever seen in terms of quality and originality – and it definitely shows. These watches are gorgeous!

Link – Thanks Paul Cooper! (Y’know, it’s time we run a Tokyoflash Treasure Hunt again on Neatorama, don’t you guys think?)

Tokyoflash Treasure Hunt #8

Posted by Alex in Tokyoflash Treasure Hunt on February 17, 2009 at 3:22 pm

It's been a while since we ran our last Tokyoflash Treasure Hunt - but the wait's worth it, because Tokyoflash has just released a number of really cool watches.

For those of you who haven't played before, the game is an online treasure hunt where you can win a free Tokyoflash watch of your choice.

The rules are simple: we'll give you 3 questions, for example:

1. What color is the "O" pebble in the Neatorama logo?
2. How many posts are on Neatorama’s homepage? (in numbers)
3. What’s the first insulting word in Neatorama’s article 10 Insulting Words You Should Know?

The answers (black, 30, frenchify) separated with dashes make a URL on Neatorama: http://www.neatorama.com/black-30-frenchify (go ahead, copy and paste this URL in your browser's address bar)

Got that? Easy, right? So let's get started! Here are the Tokyoflash Treasure Hunt #8 questions:

  1. What is the name of the Tokyoflash watch featured above? (Not the brand, the model name)
  2. Go to the Neatorama's Online Store and look for the Audio Bone Headphones page. What is the last color listed in the color option?
  3. Go to the Neatorama Upcoming Queue and look for the Top Submitters page. How many are listed per page? (in numerals, for example: 10 not "ten") [By the way, top 10 submitters of this month will get a free Neatorama T-Shirt, the top submitter will get a Free iPod Touch - you still got time, if you're interested ;) ]
  4. Go to Tokyoflash website, and find the watch with orange acrylic bars "inspired by the neon skylines of Shinjuku." What is the model name of the watch?

Visit Tokyoflash, and Neatorama's Online Shop and Upcoming Queue to find the answers, then string 'em together to make the URL (all words are lower case, separated by dash). Follow the instruction you'll find there.

Hurry (this contest will end tomorrow - remember to check back to find if you've won) and good luck!

Tokyoflash Treasure Hunt #7 Winner, and a Little Charity

Posted by Alex in Tokyoflash Treasure Hunt on December 15, 2008 at 4:55 pm

We’ve picked the winner for last week’s Tokyoflash Treasure Hunt on Neatorama at random (Answer page here). Congratulations to bailey1121 who won a gorgeous Tokyoflash I nfection watch in silver.

In the 500+ entries that we got, one really stood out: GrouchieGrumbles (entry #128) told us that if he/she should win, then we should just donate the prize to Toys for Tots charity. A Neatorama reader who prefers only to be called "a retired US Navy radioman" pointed this out to me.

Both of us are touched at the gesture, so we’ve decided to both donate $100 each to Toys for Tots, in honor of GrouchieGrumbles (whoever he is). This Christmas, times are tough – so Toys for Tots and other charities need our help more than ever. I’d like to invite you go open your heart (and wallet) and donate a little something.

Thank you to GrouchieGrumbles for his kind offer, to the anonymous Neatorama reader who contacted me about it, and lastly, to all of you who have done your parts in helping the less fortunate this holiday season.
