Live as if it's your last. This is one inspiring quote that everyone can use to help them start off 2014 right. But what happens if everyone gets to own a watch that can give you the possible countdown to your death? Well, there is one and it's called Tikker.

Tikker, a new watch is capable of making a calculation that would give an approximate countdown to its wearer's death. Its creators accept the idea that every person is going to pass away eventually, MSN News reports. So the wearer can input the possible date of his or her death for which the Tikker watch will base its countdown from. The entire idea of it? It can remind anyone of making the most of their lives by constantly reminding them of the remaining time they still have left until their envisioned time of death comes.

Tikker is a project that sourced funds and acquired belief through the Kickstarter website. "Tikker will be there to remind you to make most of your life, and most importantly, to be happy," as written on its site.

Tikker Watch Quick Background

Tikker was made by a 37-year-old Fredrik Colting who is also the writer of the unauthorized sequel of "The Cather in the Rye." He used the pseudonym John David California. He was sued by the original author J.D. Salinger which blocked the entire publishing of the book in the United States.

The Tikker watch is a concept and gadget that is unique in its own right. Users of the watch are asked to fill out a certain kind of questionnaire that concerns the wearer's health habits, age and other factors that can lead to the risks of death. All the information gathered is used to start the countdown of the person's life to death.

ABC News reports that Tikker watches will be made available to the public starting April for a price of $79. Mr Colting and his group said that their company has already acknowledged thousands of orders of all ages not just in the U.S. but also in other countries worldwide like Brazil, Russia, Vietnam, etc.
