Watch 'plastic'

A Japanese watchmaker has announced it has created the world's first flexible wall clock, as thin as a film and can bend around a corner.

The watch is only three millimeters thick and offers sharp visibility from many angles, as well as under difficult conditions or strong sunlight compared to conventional watches, Citizen Watch said.

The clock, 53 inches wide, 130 centimeters long, shows the time as a black number. It consumes less power than traditional wall clocks, and has a battery life of up to 20 times.

Citizen will begin production early next year, with prices ranging from 500,000 to 600,000 yen (about 69-82 million Vietnamese dong).
