Modern day spies may soon get James Bond's laser-cutting watch

Thanks to some clever special effects, the gadgets that Q creates for James Bond and other MI6 agents are often well ahead of their time. So much so that it's only now, more than 31 years after Never Say Never Again hit theatres that we finally have a wristwatch with a built-in laser powerful enough to do some damage.

Created by Patrick Priebe who's wel l known for h i s creations that put coolness first and safety second, the carbon fibre-accented LaserWatch features an integrated 1,500-milliwatt blue laser that can be used for about five to ten minutes before the battery's dead.

So it's best to save it until you find yourself in a real emergency. Priebe is toying with the idea of producing a few and selling them to a handful of needy spies.

At well north of $300 (Rs 18,500), they'll certainly be expensive for a device that does nothing but tell time and shoot lasers, but that's already twice as much as what a Rolex can do.
