Active Reactor watch

Here’s a cool new watch from Japan that tells time using non-traditional indicators that make it look like you are wearing some sort of radiation exposure meter.
The Active Reactor watch is water resistant and made of solid stainless steel.
You can buy it at Tokyo Flash for 11,900 yen.
Love it! Their website is down for repairs now, but HOW does one read the time with that face? Can you explain what time it is on that photo?

The following is also from Tokyo Flash.

December 14th, 2005 at 1:14 pmSo what TIME IS IT on that particular watch? I still can’t figure it out….
December 14th, 2005 at 1:19 pmWarning (+6) is lit for 6 hours.
Five Danger segments are lit for 5 hours.
The two Radio Active indicators are 40 minutes (10 + 30).
And three Active reactor lights make 3 minutes.
So. . . . 11:43?
December 14th, 2005 at 1:40 pmI might need a watch-reader/interpreter everytime I look at it, but what a great reinvention of time. Which is but an illusion anyway….
December 14th, 2005 at 1:45 pmSo how do you tell if its am or pm =O
