Death countdown wrist watch. Tikker comes from the mind of Fredrik Colting who, after his grandfather passed away several years ago, was inspired to create the death watch in his honor. Colting said: It made me think about death and the transience of life, and I realized that nothing matters when you are dead. Instead what matters is what we do when we are alive. I nap a lot. Carpe diem. However, if youre even slightly more motivated than I am, and if knowing your expiration date is something youre into, setting up the Tikker death watch will be fairly straightforward. You simply fill out a questionnaire with inquiries about smoking, exercise and general health. That creates a special number from which you then subtract your age. And there you have it: the exact number of years, months, days, hours, minutes and seconds until you take a big dirt nap. With apologies to the word exact. Tikker is, perhaps, a bit odd, but itll definitely be a good conversation starter at the company holiday party. And thats what Colting wants. The occurrence of death is no surprise to anyone, but in our modern society we rarely talk about it, he said. I think that if we were more aware of our own expiration, Im sure wed make better choices while we are alive. At the time of this writing, with two weeks to go, pledges for the Tikker death watch are at just more than $70,000. Their goal.
