We have so many and more being made. We are looking to choose 5 new designs by the end of Jan so hope to see your ideas coming in. We will be considering past designs and if they can be done in LCD as well. Must be easy to read as well. No harder than 12/11/4 or 12/5/9 preferably easier than that even. Commissions seem very very attractive enough to put a sizable down payment on a house, so it's not just fun and games, there is real money to be made! It's like the "American Idol" of watches.

Shades of LCD would look great I think and it would always be on, as you say in your description above. I would love to see this one developed. 5/5 for me! Maybe you could try a colored LCD variation in a different case shape. I think Anders sums it up when he says “simple, stylish and easy to read” – this is a great display idea.

I love it too. The display could be a bit smaller though. So easy to read yet so cryptic to others. I love it too. The display could be a bit smaller though.

Yes, I agree there should be LED lighting -- maybe, one side-mounted at the top and one side-mounted at the bottom? Some of Tokyoflash's past LCD watches used more than one LED for backlighting, such as Negative. I don't know how much e-ink costs vs. grayscale LCD, but I hope this type of e-ink would be affordable, since you only need 40 "segments." It wouldn't need to be like a Kindle screen with high resolution. DStaal, thanks for your comment.

Could be interesting with an e-ink screen, although you might want lighting in that case. (Side-mount a LED across the top or side? Hmm.) I like it.

I have a similar idea in my sketch book but yours is more stylish, really! This is a great reading (not calculating or counting) watch wich still looks cryptic and stylish. I totally love the pixel look - very contemporary. Instant buy for me. 5*!!! I love it!!! I have a similar idea in my sketch book but yours is more stylish, really!

I'm usually not that into the classic digital look, but this is just the right amount of clever for me...=) Simple, stylish and easy enough to read. Thumbs up! I think this is a neat idea.
