In case you need yet another reminder that life is short, you may soon be able to wear one on your wrist. Tikker is a watch that counts down the years, months, days, hours, and seconds remaining until your death. More accurately, the Kickstarter project slowly ticks down to its best guess as to when your death will occur. To land on this date, you’ll fill out a health-related questionnaire, subtract your current age from the results you get, and just like that the countdown begins. Since Tikker is at its core a wristwatch, you’ll be able to see the regular time while wearing it. But every time you glance at your wrist, you’ll see a constant reminder of your mortality and the fleeting time you have left.
