Design submitted by Heather from the USA.
Heather has combined the idea of reading time clockwise with the idea of reading time digitally.
The display is simply digital, but it is so distorted, that at first glance it just looks like a maze. You can read the digits by starting at the bottom digit, and reading clockwise. The bottoms of the digits are at the center, and the tops are along the circumference. There is a choice of either 24-hour mode, or AM/PM mode. Colors can easily be changed, too.
This watch involves no counting at all, but still looks cryptic and cool.

Cryptic Digital Watch Design,
loading...





What a briliant idea! I was so confused at the beginning, tried to read the time and i could not get it, and then i read the manual.5 stars for tricking my brain. True tokyoflash expierience. This display has got many to offer with nice casing & colours. Still 5 stars for concept.
loading...
Very clever! It had the tokyoflashy effect: first you cross eyes and get a head-ache, then you read the instructions and it is easy to read. And I like readable watches
Case is ok, strap color layout is cool. Very good work!
loading...
Nice work. This would be a great candidate for being able to change the color of the display. Love the way you read time on this. It truly is easy once you know the secret! Well done!
loading...
hehe, it’s a bit like cracking a code. Once you know it you can read the time.
loading...
it took me a while, but i got it. cool idea.
loading...
This looks cool, but I’ve been re-reading the instructions and looking at the diagrams and I still can’t recognize the time.
loading...
I made another diagram to illustrate the digits to look for.

loading...
Haha, I was way off in what I thought was going on. Thanks so much, now I get it!
loading...
I tried to make my avatar an example of how to read the digit 2, but I don’t know if it’s big enough for you to see it. I can post a better image when I am home.
loading...
loading...
Awesome idea! I would sure like to buy this watch!
loading...
this is an awesome watch!
i want it!
loading...
awesome design!!!! great job
loading...
geatttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt jobbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb

HEATHER’S DESIGN IS SO SO CREATIVE,UNIQUE AND NONPAREIL.IT IS VERY CONTEMPORARY AND VOGUE AS WELL AS PRACTICAL.
loading...
I would buy this watch in a second! Its cryptic, cool, and easy to tell time once you get the hang of it. Every minute is a geometric work of art. Putting a digital watch in the context of the traditional colockwise rotation is a simpley genius. This is one of the more unique creative designs I have seen in a long time.
loading...
I needed to read the instructions a few times before I understood how to read it, but this is a very cool design and I would love to own such a watch. I hope this model gets produced for real!
loading...
Love it!!! Had to think about it at first, then I got it. Very nice idea!
loading...
Damn girllll! So cool.
loading...
Awesome watch. Sleek design. Defintely a conversation piece for whoever wears it!
loading...
One of the coolest designs I’ve seen. Would definitely love to buy this watch–I hope it gets made. I love how, on the one hand (no pun intended), the individual digits once you understand them are so simply the normal numeric shapes we know but by virtue of the slightly skewed perspective made so unique and interesting, and on the other hand, the combined image of the whole set of numbers creates such cool maze-like patterns which appear as components taken from merely 3 concentric circles and the radial lines. These great visual qualities combined with the extremely creative concept of the fusion of the digital display with the clockwise rotation makes this an awesome artistic creation.
loading...
Look at you Heather! Looks like you may have a hit on your hands. Nice to see. We are keeping an eye on this one.
loading...
Thanks! I always love my own designs, but I don’t know how other people will feel about them. Glad to see this one’s really popular!
loading...
this watch is so cool! Tokyoflash please make it, I would LOVE to buy it!
loading...
Heather you have every right to be a proud nerd.

Heather this design is amazing!!! So original!!!! I want to buy one for myself, and this’ll be a great present for my friends. Please please pplease make it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)))))
loading...
the watch is really cool, and so is the concept.
I would totally but this watch if it came out SO MAKE IT TOKYOFLASH!
it would be really cool and even more marketable if you came out with different colors for the led lights and the wrist part(cool design on that). PINK, PINK, and other warm/tropical colors would be cool, even greens, blues, and purples!
Just an idea, but it would be cool if you could rotate the LED part so you didn’t have to turn your neck every time
Keep making awesome watches, Heather
MAKE THIS WATCH TOKYOFLASH— its very cool and marketable
AND PINK MAMA LOVES IT!!!!!!
loading...
This watch is extremely cool. I love how it looks like a maze. It would be funny for someone to ask for the time and I would give them the watch. They would be so confused, so I would laugh hysterically. I would soooooooooooooooooo by this watch. I hope it comes out. I hope the colors change to blue, green, and pink.
loading...
omg. that would be cool if it was multiple colors at at time. or flashing!!!
loading...
OMG this watch is amazing!!!!! I want to buy it but maybe if it came in red, I would. Tokyoflash, publish this watch please!!!!!!!
loading...
absolutely funny and awesome watch! i would love to see this watch at stores! Tokyoflash put this watch into production!
loading...
WOWW! this is amazing! i LOVE the idea of how you read the time! I’m going to get this watch if tokyoflash makes it!

I WANT ONE NOW.
loading...
OMG!!!!! this watch is friggin’ awesome. it would be even more amazing in different colors, such as various shades of purple
. Please make this watch, tokyo flash. I would soooo buy one. it’s maze-like and different, which is quite hard to find nowadays. Please make this watch so i can buy one as soon as possible.
loading...
you have real potential, heather from the USA
loading...
Cool design Heather. I only have one small crit concerning the dot in the middle. You are already using a 24hr digital display so it is probably not necessary, perhaps you could make a variation that uses the dot space as a day indicator?
Look forward to seeing more.
loading...
Thank you for your comment, Colored circle. You’re right that it would not be necessary for the 24-hour mode.
But actually, there are two different modes – AM/PM, or 24 hour mode. When the watch is set to 24 hour mode, the dot does not show up at all, as in the image shown for 20:36. When it is set to AM/PM mode, the dot is the PM indicator, as in the image shown for 3:42 PM.
loading...
Thanks for clarifying. I should have looked more closely at your illustrations:)
loading...
great job heather youve did it again!!!!!!! i would totally buy this watch in any color (pink) great job:)
loading...
i cant wait for this watch to come out!(wink wink.
)
loading...
PS: this is an EPIC watch!!!!! i want it in purple, or maybe green!!!
loading...
Love the display, but the case just doesn’t do the design justice for me. Excellent idea here though Heather and it’s the idea that makes this design special.
loading...
i want to know when they are going to sell this!!!!!!! i want it… NOW!!!!
loading...
Wow! This is truly an amazing watch. At first I looked at it, and I was so confused to what was going on. Then when I read the instructions I was completely blown away. Can’t wait ’till it comes out!
loading...
I hoooooooooooooooooooooopeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Tokyo flash makes this watch ssssssssssssssssooooooooooooooon because it is sooooooooooooooooooooo coooooooooooooooooooooool. pleeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaseeeeee make it
loading...
Wow, Heather. This watch is great. You have made so many great watches, but this is by far the best one. I think that the face of the watch should be able to turn on an axis so that people wont need to turn their heads to get the time. Maybe it can snap into place in the right side up position so it wont swivel around like a drunken fish when it doesn’t need to.
loading...
It’s hard to find a unique looking digital watch – this is killer! Please, please, please make
it, Tokyoflash!
loading...
This such a awesome watch. Its so cool and I REALLY want ot buy it. I wish that it would be made. It looks awesome and its easy to read! I WANT IT!!!! Please make it!!!!!! =]

Kirby approves of this watch! o(>.<)=o
loading...
What an original idea! I would love to see this in all sorts of funky colors! Wow! How cool!
loading...
This is really cool! I think its really creative and funky
loading...
This is truly a remarkable design that deserves a lot of attention, which it already has..
TokyoFlash, please make this design a reality, cause it is so simple yet one of the most complicated. This is as it leaves first-timers at trying to read the time in the lurch, where it is hard to interpret especially if one does not have experience in such TokyoFlash-style watch.. On the other hand, it is undeniably, also the easiest and most straight-forward to read watch amongst the host of concept watches here on the TokyoFlash blog.
So, just as others who have commented on this watch, I would agree that Heather has done a tremendous job for creating this design which can intrigue many!
Overall, this indeed is a great and cool concept piece!! =)
loading...
wow it’s just like miss sable to come up with something that i don’t understand and then explain it
loading...
What a great design! I would like it as an all black watch, no silver ring.
loading...
Tell me when and where to buy this!
loading...
Oh please! I want this so badly! Maybe in white
thatll look sick! It took me awhile to figure it out but that I have I love it and now I can see the numbers clearly. I know it’ll trick out my friends. I want a unique watch and this is it!
loading...
Amazing i was sooo confused by the instructions for like 15 minutes and then it hit me and i now love this watch it is the third one i have seen and gone: “DO WANT” so please tokyo flash make this watch
loading...
Toyko Flash! are you ever going to make this watch? i really really want it! please please make it.
loading...
