Tokyo-based company Thanko has unveiled an analog wristwatch that features a built in video camera. The video camera is carefully incorporated in the watch using a mini camera whose lens is placed between 1 and 2 o’clock on the dial. I wonder why there are so many watches in the market and why Japanese watches always come with features that we normally see on our cellphones.

Thanko’s watch surely does look great and you cannot detect this video camera, which means you can spy on people around you by capturing live videos. This should be the dream of any voyeur and I’m afraid people can’t even be arrested for being nosey for there would be no proof. Perhaps we shall see some controversial ‘Thanko Watch Scams’ which feature lurid lives of celebrities caught in action.

The watch weighs 80g and has a normal look. Video material can be stored using a 4GB memory in avi format and in 352×288 resolution. Audio can also be recorded. You can watch the video on your PC as it can be transferred to it via USB. This uber cool watch can be bought for $140.
