stormwatches 300x225 Storm MK V Watch with Shutter Mechanism is Very 007Storm London’s MK V watch is very 007 in style – but not because it doubles as a cell phone, or works as a super special gadget of some sort. Rather, what makes it so Bond-like is its shutter mechanism on the watch face that opens to reveal the time. That shutter is iconic to the branding of James Bond over the years. The MK V is available in slate, rose gold or black and it retails for £109.99

    It is not a shutter mechanism. It is a diaphragm, or, if you insist on the photography metaphor, an aperture.

    [...] To the Storm MK V watch, time is something fragile to be hidden away and guarded in secret. Because instead of just displaying the hour, the MK V tucks the face away behind tiny steel panels, shielding it from the harsh world outside. To check the time, one needs to open the mechanical iris a la 007 credits sequence. But ironically, the MK V isn’t even water resistant, despite its stainless steel body and taunting rubber strap. Luckily, we’re more than willing to dodge a few rain drops in honor of style. $186 [Storm via ChipChick] [...]

    [...] Here’s a simple and yet interesting watch. This MK V watch from Storm London incorporates a working metal shutter that hides and reveals the face. They should have done this with a James Bond watch since it’s how the movies open. Pretty cool, though it might get old having to click a button to see what time it is, but then again when a pretty girl asks for the time, imagine the impression you’ll make. It’s available in black, slate or rose gold finish with a rubber strap and stainless steel case for $171 to $188. [Storm] VIA [Chip Chick] [...]
