This is without doubt one of the most interesting articles I've read in a long time. It's about a japanese watch maker called Haruo Suekichi (Japanese homepage only), who designs odd and unique contraptions that show time. Some of them look barely wearable, but they're all still really cool.The interviewer also asks how he looks at the passing of time and I think he had a great definition of it:
The progress of time and memories are like a path you go along, and certain memories stand out as markers...that's kind of how I think of time, I guess, how I look at time...I'm so used to looking at time from a scientific point of view (I blame Brian Greene for that) so this article felt really refreshing to read. Sometimes it would be nice to be able to express thing in a more poetic way.

how much would that cost?
I'm sorry that the original article is down, and Google doesn't even have it cached. If I remember correctly the clocks were surprisingly cheap, something like 2000 USD or so. I guess they might have gone up in price since then.
