The One, the company behind the binary watch is about to launch a new range of watches Pocket-lint has learnt.

The new Binary Watches will be based on the company's Samui Moon watch design and come with a stainless steel bracelet, but still feature the binary lights on its face.

The LED watch features ten LED lights that correspond to the time (four for hour and six for the minutes). Adding the value of the light will give you the right time, ie 8 plus 2 plus 1 equals 11 and 16 plus 4 plus 2 plus 1 equals 23 so the time would be 11:23.

The designs are a certain improvement on past models, however the average person is still likely to have trouble reading the time on these £70 time pieces.
