Sponsor Shout-Out: Watchismo

Our thanks go to Watchismo for sponsoring Boing Boing Blast, our once-daily delivery of headlines by email.

Much like the iconic double decker buses in the UK, this British-designed limited edition Storm Trilogy Watch has two levels. The top floor is a traditional three-handed clock bolted onto the bottom floor, where two totally different one handed displays give you two other timezones. On the right, one features a simple single hand for hours (if it lies in the middle of the 8 and 9, it's showing 8:30). To the bottom left, an obscured viewing area offers a unique way of displaying the time: a single double-sided hand points to the hours in two rows, with the shorter side pointing to the hours after 3 o'clock and the longer side pointing to the hours after 9.

  Watchismo has pissed me off. After succumbing to their advertising here, I mentioned a watch that I liked to my wife last month, which she bought for me as a birthday present.

  The watch arrived slightly broken — the knob for twisting the hands would not push in to start the watch, and bringing it to a watch repairman to double-check that I wasn’t just incompetent confirmed that it was broken.

  We have since called Watchismo three times, left them messages, and sent them two emails. Ten days later we still have heard no response at all.

  These people were extremely responsive when my wife was first making the order — they answered the phone immediately and fixed an ordering issue. Now it’s like they don’t exist.
