FOXI Concept E-Paper Watch Design

Design submitted by Sunci from Hungary.

Sunci says: “I simply had a dream about FOXI in which I saw every detail sharp and clear from the time-telling to the strap’s pattern, even the colours. The e-ink idea followed quickly, I wanted to create a watch that doesn’t require button pushing to check the time, but shows it constantly.

The time-telling is very intuitive. The hours are triangle and square shapes taking the positions of analogue watches’ hours (24h permitting), the 10 minutes are mainly the basic roman Xs (consisting of two 5 minute tallies) and the single minutes are the rectangle frame of the screen.

This stylish jewel-like prêt-a-porter watch, if produced in different sizes, could be warn by all ages and both sexes, but I mainly had women of science in mind when elaborating the design (there are way too few geek watches designed for women, although I believe the demand is there).

The design is equally focused on unique but intuitive time reading, convenience and jewel-like appearance, a combination of traits hopefully welcome by the market.”

  1. Very intuitive indeed! the time telling method is brilliant imo! great work.

    The hand stitched look of the strap is really cool and unique also.

    It has a very bracelet like feel to it, which many would go crazy for!

  3. Really looks like a Gucci style product. The beige color is very unusual and the leather straps look really nice. You said you don’t need a button pressed to show time, but you still have two buttons o.O Probably for light and time setting. The always on display is a wonderful idea, if energetically practical. Damn it looks a little too feminine to me. Outstanding!

    • Yeap, the buttons are indeed for light and time setting. Don’t worry about the Gucci look ;-), if Tokyoflash selects FOXI for production, I’ll make you guys a masculine version.

  4. Elképesztő és ötletes, mind a dizájn, mind az időmegjelenítés. nekem bejövős, ha lenne pasi stílusban is. 😀

    Amazing and clever, both the design and the timetelling method. I would buy one, if there would be in a more masculan style.

    I applaud the attempt at another ladies watch on here! My wife likes a lot of the watches in TF’s current catalog, but she and many other girls I know would like to see more ladies oriented Tokyoflash watches.

    Good luck !

  7. What’s interesting about this design is that it is unlike a typical Tokyoflash watch. It looks more like something from Louis Vuitton. But maybe this would appeal to a certain group of people out there…

    • Thanks Avatara (and AcanthaceousShrike and basically everybody). Wow, Louis Vuitton and Gucci references, you make me blush.
      I must say though that my design is not that foreign to Tokyoflash. I’m pretty sure, in fact, that one of my subconscious inspirations comes from their Infection, where the patterns on the face harmonize perfectly with the patterns on the watch’s stylish strap.

  8. Such a beautiful jewel, even if I couldn’t read the time from it I would buy this wath to show it off :-).
    Well done, Sunci.

  9. If this watch was not bracelet-like but had a standard strap and more silvery-black color scheme, nobody would call this design feminin. But I like it the way it is, and would buy one for my wife (accountant) and daughter (engineer) as well.

  10. wow!!! this is really brilliant! it would be nice to be the first who will get it but probable I wont have the money for that 😛

  11. Great job, Sünci! Ügyes vagy! 🙂
    My only critique is that repeating the triangular/romboid pattern on the strap and the metal framing is a bit ‘affecting’, ergo too much. This way you lose the uniqueness of it as a time indicator.
    Anyway, cross fingers for the production! 🙂

  15. Wow, it is really great! One would need a little time to learn how to read it, but as someone mentioned above, I would certainly wear it and show off with it! It is nice, and smart.
