LMW-V1 Light Meter Watch
The LMW-V1 from Increment Labs is a photographer's watch with a built-in light meter, two years and five prototypes in the making. The anodized aluminum case is waterproof and styled after classic camera design, with depth-of-field lines engraved on the case and a read button shaped like a shutter release. Set your ISO, choose Aperture or Shutter Priority mode, and the LCD screen outputs your exposure reading on a charge that lasts roughly a month. A golden hour alarm calculates precise sunrise and sunset based on your longitude and latitude, a darkroom-safe red backlight lets you check timings without fogging photographic paper, and a textured leather strap echoes the leatherette texture of vintage camera bodies. Assembled in the UK, with packaging that doubles as a holder for four rolls of film.
