This steampunk Tesla Watch is the coolest way to tell time

There are numerous creations that have been fashioned in honour of inventor Nikola Tesla, and this steampunk-style analog Tesla Watch from ThinkGeek is one of the coolest.

Watches and particularly steampunk have risen tremendously in popularity over the past decade. And for those not familiar with the term, steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction that focuses on industrial steam-powered machinery; some referring to steampunk as Neo-Victorian in style. For those who love gaming, this watch might remind you of Bioshock.
