I don't have an own blog yet. But I use facebook besides this design blog to post my ideas (Samuel Jerichow (Samukun)). A separate blog is a nice idea though. I don't have news about the screwz watch. I don't know about the chances yet. But cool that you checked the old entries and like the screwz... And these ones too :D I'm glad I made the female version and showed it. @ Angel: Thank you :)

I think for the stripes the same flexible base material can be used. Just in white (for the black light) and some reflection granulate added. The stripe is "molten" inside the black strap then. I really don't know actually ;) But I think its no problem. @ Another: Oh yes, I tried a slim, light and simple design. I'm glad it is accepted pretty good. I need a tron costume next halloween then. Thanks for your comment! @ Luis: Wow that's the effect a real tokyoflash watch causes: wonder, comprehend, big grin :D Thanks alot for your impression and opinion! @ T Chisley: Hey that’s a statement, thank you!

Perhaps there is no need for optical fiber, I think the reflective material would be good in all but the very darkest of situations. The only potential problem is the durability of such a material on a flexible strap, reflective clothing does seem to crack and wear quicker than other materials.

I would like to make sure that you don't misunderstand the the technics used for the straps. All white lines (straps lines, case lines an watch hands) are not illuminated by themselves. They are made of a higly reflective material, so they always seem bright. Like here: http://i01.i.aliimg.com/img/pb/063/692/299/299692063_768.jpg But they only glow when black light is around because I planned them in that special white material :) In the case region I have black light LEDs. So image 5 is seen often. The straps themselves would need external blacklight like you have it in clubs for example. So image 6 is seen no that often (depends on how often you disco) It is very very simple to make, but looks so nice. I chose this easy technics in favor of feasability and price. I also thought about optic fibre to guide the case's LEDs light into the straps. I like that very much because it's still cheap but effective, just like I wanted. But I wasn't sure about the light loss along the way. The EL wire seems cool but space consuming. Maybe Light Tape® works better. It is slim and flexible. No matter what is used, the continuity between the flexible lines of the straps, the rigid lines in the case and the rigid but rotating watch hands have to be preserved. So depending on the applied technics, there is a price span of 100-250$ I think. :D @ all above: Thank you all for your opinions, hopes and luck wishes!

With regards to the lighting around the wrist, I have seen EL Wire being mentioned before. This would be great but I think it needs an inverter which is too large (please correct me if I am wrong). Might it be possible to use some optic fiber to take some of the light from the watch face and direct it around the strap? Good luck with this one, I can see it being popular.
