Nothing for me but nevertheless remarkable. Hard to read the minutes though. Good work! This is a cool design. Nothing for me but nevertheless remarkable. Hard to read the minutes though. Good work!

If it was put into production, it would probably need to be tweaked a bit, e.g. slightly thicker, bigger displays with better contrast and so on... Few things are impossible, but many things are very expensive to make...=) Most people seem to like the screens... I have made a different version, with the same screens but in a chunkier, more masculine style (having read some of the other comments)... It remains to be seen whether the powers that be think it's worth publishing... I'm dubious; it's probably not unique enough since it uses the same screen layout...

The colours of the display are chosen to be subtle, and maybe I went a bit too far...=) I wanted it to be understated since I'm not fond of the green and red LEDs which turn up in many designs... But yes, the blue and yellow would probably need to be a bit brighter...=) Tack! =)

No way to put batteries, circuits etc inside a thin band like that. Well, maybe possible, but not easy. The screen diagram is nice, i like the spirals - that is the best part for me because those spiral shapes just look great. Nice looking concept for sure, but how can this be made?

My gut reaction is that a square display wouldn't have the same 'flow' as the round one, but I'll have to sketch it out to be sure...

Maybe Cuts in the metal like it was worn by a metal worker or something. Or a square version of the display.

The question of the battery occurred to me too, and I think it would be do-able to fit a number of small button cells connected in series inside the armband, probably through the hole the screens are mounted in. One detail that I didn't have room to explain is that there are recharging connectors hidden by the hinge, which are revealed when the watch is opened fully. To avoid having to replace the batteries...=) You're not the only one who wants to see a more traditional take on this, so I guess I'll have to make an effort...=) Thanks for the comment!

It seems that it would be jewellery first and time piece second. I love the way the time is shown, it's really neat. One question though, where would the battery be located? I would like to see this time display in more of a watch style design. I’m really excited to see this design, it’s nothing like a watch at all.

Thanks for the good feedback, I'll probably sketch a more tradtitional take on the design to see how it looks, and maybe I'll submit a moebius 2.0 version...=) It did turn out fairly feminine, I was aiming for more of a unisex appeal.
