If you thought you were going to make it through the week without another new design from the watch design masters over at Tokyoflash, then you of course thought wrong. This new custom timepiece named the “Seikatsu Koujou Kyokusen” is a teamed effort between Better Living Industries, the rock band My Chemical Romance, and Tokyoflash themselves. The watch has some of the great features you came to know and love from Tokyoflash, but with some added features custom implemented by the MCR and BLI. The watch features a squared off stainless steel face, some  magical LED’s from the Tokyoflash workshop, and a white leather band with the BLI logo on each side. The inspiration for the name of this watch came from curved line of LED’s that indicates the hour. The watch is fully rechargeable as usual and a 3.5 hour charge should set you up with enough juice to last a month. The watch is only available on the My Chemical Romance store and has a modest price of $125.

This watch follows the true nature of Tokyoflash’s standard uniqueness, but with the added touch from BLI and MCR. I think the watch is priced right and really stands alone from most other designs, even from Tokyoflash themselves. I honestly don’t know too much about BLI, but you can read up on the translated page over at the Better Living International site.

A translated part of their mission statement:

We at Better Living Industries have been dedicated to a clean and structured lifestyle since the great fires of 2012. Bleaching the Zones and the quantitative analysis of the population have been effective means of ridding you, the consumer, of the unwanted waste. We, the organization, firmly believe in the sanctity of monochromaticism.

There is plenty more reading if you interested, but from sweet watch standpoint, this model from BLI/MCR and Tokyoflash is another example of why there is no competition in the market for our Japanese timepiece craftsmen. Head over to the MCR store for more details and purchasing options.

I have been a tech fanatic and gadget guru ever since I can remember. I started building computers at a young age and have been doing so ever since. Im a big fan of all things mobile but spend most of my time with Android when it comes to phones and Tablets. I like to spend my free time at the gun range, in the garage, or playing games.

    You don’t seem to have any knowledge of My Chemical Romance’s latest album, Danger Days,…. I’ll fill you in :P
    Danger Days is basically a story of My Chemical Romance in 2019 as the Killjoys, battling against Better Living Industries, a fictional company trying to perfect the world by destroying anything imperfect. In other words, BLI is fiction :P

    Watching their videos for Na Na Na and then Sing (in that order :P ) might make things more apparent :P
