hey! this is almost the same concept i have been pondering at for years – even sent an email to tokyoflash about it (might have been a year ago).
Differense would be that my idea is much larger than an arm wrist watch – rather a puplic space wall whatch.
But the basic idea of enginge pistons are the same. and to keep things easy it’s 4×6 pistons. first two line hours, the other two minutes of 5. i should be big and clunky – you should hear the pistons clatch into position… and i would want it dirty and raw (and unpolished – maybe even rusty?) – rather than sleek and cool. hehe.

Wow Dante!
That a really nice time piece you have created! Only a shame the strap can’t be adjust to a wrist, but I guess at this stage this is a detail.
I would buy it!

When do you think this will be on the market and for how much?

I have another suggestion that might make the time reading easier without having to add dots or reduce minute size… It’s hard to explain in just words, so I copied one of your images and drew on it with a suggested alternative method to read the time.. It’s similar to 12-5-9, but with a twist.

Thanks for the input Mr. Dylan…. About 1 dots with 5 minutes, actually that was easier to read, but if I add 2 more dots, it will create more crowded visualization… My considerations are also on the shutter and its proportion of the dots, if I add 2 more minutes dots, then the size of the dots minutes will be smaller and more difficult to read.

By the way, thanks for your criticism and suggestions, I really appreciate it… Thanks again..

I feel like what makes it difficult to read is the tiny little individual minute indicators. Why not just make those solid pistons like the hours and since there are 10 of them every six minutes one could pop up. Alternatively, you could add two more and then each entire minute piston would be five minutes.

I love the design, just trying to help it be more practical and easier to read.

I like the steam-punk flavour here too. Futuristic and unusual but using mechanical technology. I love the case and strap but am not overly keen on the frame around the case. As someone mentioned above, how it would be made is the question. It’s actually not all that easy to read on second glance.
