But when I imagine this watch on my wrist, I don't like it. You have like 6 segments, let it be 8 and it is still too clunky. Maybe women like it because of its jewelry like appearance. The combination of digital and analog display is great. The idea about the all around the wrist is good. But when I imagine this watch on my wrist, I don’t like it.

Why you did not move to Malaysia instead? The living cost here is cheaper, and geographically we are safest place to live imho, and there's many other good factors too to consider. No offense to Singapore though, and your staffs in Singapore can always come to Malaysia. I have had several meeting and seminar with Japanese government agency in transportation sector and they always like to visit Malaysia. Singapore? Why you did not move to Malaysia instead?

I might not wear this watch, but it can be used as jewelery that put on table, as table clock? Just my opinion. BTW, great job!

I hope this blog can be run as normal and the TF team will return for works as soon as possible.

My heart and hart goes out to those affected. Thanks for your comment. I do not really have a solution to the problem with this design as i think all the faces would need to be wired up together. The original design had 6 entirely independent faces that would be joined to make a hoop so I guess each connection could have 2 potential joins making 18 sizes of watch overall. As for price the original design did not have any lights on. The only reason I put a digital display on was because it seemed like the done thing at Tokyo Flash and had I not it wouldn't have been taken seriously as a contender. So really the price would be for 6 identical watches that all run independently and I quote the Tokyo flash website when I say "In fact 80% of watches around the world just purchase a standard movement from the factories for next to nothing." so take the electronics out how much would it really cost to make this unique piece?

Now! on to the watch design! I like the idea of multiple watch faces as the watchband itself; though, how would you go about adjusting the size of the watch? I have a smallish wrist, and would probably need to take links out to accommodate. The design also seems like it would be expensive to produce, as the most costly part of a watch is going to be the inner workings which make it go. Cool design, overall!

Now! on to the watch design!
