Go Get a Pimp
It's a Light Bright! It's a Daft Punk gadget! No, it's a watch

Now this is a watch. It reminds me of that classic kids game Light Bright, but this version actually 'does' something.

Not saying it's the most practical way to tell time, but if you're a style over function type of person (who me?) then this is for you.

Preview this month's hottest film release Girl with a Pearl Earring at Barbican tonight. 7:30pm. Silk Street, EC2. £11. 020 7638 8891.

The Design Museum present a private view of the Conran Foundation Collection's 10th show - by Heatherwick. 7-9pm. 28 Shad Thames, SE1.

The Pimp doesn't have a classic face, but that's what makes it so special. Three groups of lights in green, orange and red light up every minute in a pattern that tells the time.

It's like your own personal wrist show! Perfect for those of you who have to be suited and booted every day. Made of stainless steel, with only 500 sold outside of Japan, these rare beasts aren't going to be around for long. Don't miss the boat again (nod to the Casio Calculator watch) get online and reserve yourself a Pimp.
