I think that certain parts of the watch might indeed prove challenging to make, but not more so than a number of the ideas that have already been submitted. Hi Fantasmatic: Thanks for commenting.

I think manufacturing the analogish display system might be a bit challenging. Nice typographic idea. I think manufacturing the analogish display system might be a bit challenging.

We are still considering all concepts that have been submitted up to this point as well as those coming in from now. We will also consider whether past submissions can be done in LCD. If you would like to submit new designs we'd love to see them. Hi Vincent, thanks for your comment.

You posted an idea of mine that I had intended to be LCD (with two options for displaying the time), but posted it to the blog as an LED option. http://www.tokyoflash.com/blog/2010/09/futuristic-gps-watch-designed-for-space-travelers/ If we submitted an earlier design that could be LED, should we re-submit it?

As some have already commented, gold isn't really my thing... And there's the thing about the numbers and the shape not quite working together, but other than that, stylish! =) Nice work, as always!

I had not thought about shaping the case to echo the numbers. I think I will make a few sketches and paintovers to see how it would look. Your observation about the "script" governing the design is probably accurate. I think that when I started considering the real world dimensions of the watch a few design elements got 'warped' for the sake of practicality. Hi Logan.

Your rendering of the case is beautiful, but the shape isn't as interesting to me as the numbers are. I think the numbers are what make this design unique, and I'd rather see a case matched to them. I really like the "Mongolian" concept. Devindh, although some people are asking to see the numbers modified to fit the case, I would actually prefer to see the case modified to fit the numbers.

I like that one more too. The numbers and the case don't bite there... yes it is more harmonilicious :D When I design, then there are also changes I didn't plan sometimes, and the development takes a new way. I'm not aware of the little weaknesses wich sneaked in but other persons see them quickly. A new pair of eyes is always good. I sleep one night and review my designs with fresh mind. But in the end it is just my taste. I'm a little flexible though :) Well conclusion: The base idea and the colors and materials are great. That's why the little flaw was so obvious to me. Oh yes: cool drawings. Oh yeah I see. I like that one more too.

Thanks for taking the time to alter my render. Here is a screengrab of one of my original sketches. [IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/coloredcircle/101211-0001.png[/IMG] As you can see I had wanted the design to be a bit more angular so that the numerals followed the contours of the watch more 'harmoniously'. I can certainly render a variation that is closer to my initial drawing. Hi Sam. Thanks for taking the time to alter my render. Here is a screengrab of one of my original sketches.
