Batman & Bane Limited Edition Watches from Diesel's The Dark Knight Rises timepiece collection are available for preorder exclusively at Watchismo. The stealthy black steel and rubber features of the Diesel BATMAN Watch, and the brutal ruggedness of the Diesel BANE Watch, each capture the essence of their respective characters: they're perfect designs that distil your choice of cinematic good or evil into two very cool chronographs.

Each M-Theory Time & Space watch offers the surreal touch of watch hands floating free of the traditional clock face. Be sure to check out Watchismo's videos demonstrating the uncanny display. Photographs of the full moon, taken at Nantes of Western France by the Astrophotographer Norbert Rumiano, were used on the dial plate of the Moonlight model; the modern reinterpretation of the classic design embodies the concepts of time's dissolution and space free of gravity.

Gutted of clutter and completely exposed, the limited edition & numbered mechanical Storm Mekon watches (released exclusively at Watchismo) have totally deconstructed the basic wristwatch while maintaining traditional boundaries. The case frames no physical dial but instead supports a lone single bridge of gears spanning the void across the wrist presenting the hours and minutes into what might be considered an analog hourglass.

One of my favorite items at Shanalogic's online store is the heart necklace, an anatomically-detailed improvement on the unscientific rubbish you'll find at Tiffany or Cartier.

Made of white bronze, it comes with a 32" gunmetal-black neclace and is about an inch tall.

Check out the DEFAKTO Inkognito. The idea is to display the time with the minimum information while being exact, as needed. This new German-made one-handed watch collection is stripped down to the core, removing all branding from the dial, leaving a single hand to let you know precisely what the approximate time is. DEFAKTO Watches use top of the line Swiss ETA 2824-2 mechanical automatic movements, which can be viewed through the sapphire crystal on the caseback.

The watch is designed for people who don't feel the need to count every second.

Watchismo is introducing new collections from 01 The One Watches and Nixon Watches. There is nothing quite like the 01 The One Spinning Disc Watches out there. These unusual timepieces look amazing on the wrist; a blend of digital and analog displays featuring vertical hour and minute digits that distort to fit into the viewing area. Both are anchored by a bullseye center disc dial with a fixed seconds hand, and a perpetually-rotating disc underneath it.

Watchismo also has the latest Nixon Watches, launching the Nixon Ride Watches. The casing is about as solid as they come, and the stainless steel finish is custom-treated to have an otherworldly texture.

And wood! Nixon has always blended raw natural materials with heavy duty stainless steel construction. The latest and most perfect examples are part of the black steel collection including the Nixon Rotolog Dark Wood, Nixon Spencer Dark Wood and Nixon 51-30 Dark Wood watches.

Just for BoingBoing readers, take an additional 10% off any of these watches. Use code BOINGIFT10 at checkout to redeem.

Watchismo's showing some very cool automatic mechanical timepieces from Nixon Watches. The Swiss made Nixon Automatic II watch is an upgrade to one of their first mechanical classics, now with an improved design and more attitude: "Auto F*king Matic" is right on the caseback. Seen from the rear sapphire crystal porthole. Pre-order them at Watchismo.com.

The Nixon Mellor Automatic watch expresses itself through cool mid-century minimalism. Perfected with a lack of detail, this mechanical machine is simultaneously simple and complex. The dial and integrated lugs conceal the capsulated mechanics lying within. Both of these collections are available now at Watchismo in their Nixon Watch collection.

Mr. Jones' best-selling The Accurate watch is now also a 9.8"-diameter clock. The hour hand reads "remember," and the minute hand reads "you will die." The dial is mirrored, reminding the viewer exactly to whom the message is intended. A memento mori, it reminds us that we should make the most of the time we have. The first clock from Mr Jones Watches, The Accurate has hands laser cut into the letters and then painted on both sides so that the text can be seen in the mirror-image. It's $119 and is available at Watchismo.

Ilvo Fontana, crafter of precision engineering instruments, received a commission from the Italian Navy in 1942: to design and build a new type of watch for their pilots. This challenge meant satisfying the Navy's precise technical specifications, while guaranteeing visibility in low light and reliability in any weather. The project never materialized, but Italo Fontana, Ilvo’s grandson, discovered the designs and used them as inspiration for his company's U-Boat Watch. Handcrafted in Italy, each features a modified mechanical Swiss ETA automatic movement, and a new limited edition collection is available at Watchismo.com.
