NBA To Debut Sleek Touchscreen Shot Clocks Via Tissot Partnership

While the NBA has continued to be a tech and digital leader within the major pro leagues, one old piece of hardware has not evolved as quickly as the rest of the association: the shot clock. But thanks to Swiss watchmaker Tissot, the contraption on top of each NBA hoop will now get a much due upgrade, seeing as it has not changed much since the 1970s.

The new shot clock is made with LED glass, so it is transparent instead of clunky and black. This feature will be most appreciated by fans whose seats are behind the shot clock, so that their view of the game will not be impeded.
