Seiko shows the world's first electronic ink (e-ink) wristwatch dubbed Spectrum.The Seiko Spectrum (SVRD001) coolness is mostly coming from the bent shape of the display. A curved display like that cannot be done with a LCD display, only e-paper can provide this. The bracelet is made from stainless steal. The Seiko Spectrum SVRD001 uses technology from E-Ink corporation, the leaders in electronic ink technology.The price for the limited edition Seiko Spectrum (500 pieces) is about $2,180USD and is supposed to go on sale in January 2006.More details in this Seiko press-release (Japanese).

These are two versions of the Discus from the new Seiko Japan Moving Design Collection. These mechanical watches have a three numbered discs that continuously rotate to display hours, minutes and seconds. I like the smoked glass version the best. I have heard you can find them on eBay for $899, but I have not been able to find any available in the US at this time.
