I totally want the suggestion you made, after jordair commented. Here this http://h7.abload.de/img/sam-jerichow-image-11-qusp.png !!! Besides this point of critique i must say i love the watch. Its alien, scientific, interesting and fun! I hope this can be made! *****YES because the good impression is stronger than the flaw. The only critique i have is the empty looking top.

I feel the same. I don't see a purpose of those expensive and ugly watches. I think this all comes from high societey peer pressure. It's like thoe uber expensive hotels. Why those fake 1850 appearance golden faucets? But that's what a hobby geek like me never understands ;) I think a stylish futuristic gold bar design would bring some fresh wind and taste to the richer world... My inspirations... Actually anything can be turned into a watch. There are patterns, objects, artificial things, natural elements... these all plant thoughts in my mind which grow and then I need to let them out in my sketch book or sometimes directly in the computer. And sometimes the idea develops independent from the environment. I sketch, try out things an boom - idea o.o This watch is such a development :) Harry, thank you for your interesting thoughts!

Look at all the ugly Rolex watches made of platinum and gold with diamonds and so on, the people pay hundreds of thousend dollars for it and in the end they have only a automatic powerd watch with a mechanical movement on their arms. A great idea Sam, really great.

Like from another world. From where You get Your inspirations? Do You think to produce a state-of-the-art model in 18ct. gold for people who don´t know what to do with their money? Produce it and You will find a lot of guys which will buy it. At anytime, You have something on your wrist, what is like a tool from E.T. and also the power of the most value material on this planet. Gold or Platinum. Also there is enough place for a lot of diamonds to make it more and more value. Really great idea! Like from another world. From where You get Your inspirations?

Insight windows would be great! Maybe not symmetrical windows though... Some cogs on one side, springs on the other maybe? Some gravity powered wheels? A fan? The possibilities are endless! Maybe a version of this watch without the windows and another version with? This watch + insight windows and you've got my vote. Yes! Insight windows would be great!

In my Ito watch, which was mean to be compelety covered with solar cells, TF told me even that wouldn't be enough... Lonely charger: Yes I thought that too. I suggest these <a href="http://www.abload.de/img/sam-jerichow-image-11-qusp.png" rel="nofollow">insight windows</a> but honetsly, I don't know how it would look so I kept it away... What do you think? Thank you Jordan! Tilt charger in cheap: Oh cool, I take it then :)

Energy production has to become more ecological. Ok, every watch here could be made with a USB recharge or a tilt generator - independently from the concept :) Here I tried a reasonable combination between energy production and the concept. Oh I also think, the off-centre weight can be handled with the right materials (friction) and strap segmentation (individual adaption). Thank you Keiron for your view! And hexagons still rock, hehehe You mention very good points Keiron! Energy production has to become more ecological.

Well, it's an opinion thing mostly... I'm sure many people will fall in love with this watch just the way it is, but everyone likes different things. With the tilt sensor in the watch, you can set the time to display as a trippy light show (minute/hour colors are affected by tilt in the x, y, and z axis), the face could be smaller (or have more contents) as the charging slider looks quite lonely... And lastly, some numbers could be thrown into the light displays so you can know your tilt/time easier and more efficiently. Now for your argument with the charger... (To my knowledge) many not-too-expensive watches are equipped with a tilt charger. I had a Swatch watch awhile back that activated the backlight and gave the watch a small amount of charge when it was tilted towards you, and used the motion of your wrist to charge the battery otherwise... That was a $80 watch... Realistically, there's probably many 'free' energy sources other than manual charging that [i]could[/i] replace your push switch like a solar panel, but I guess that would take the zing out of this watch. It's like crank flashlights. Cool, but not used unless ABSOLUTELY necessary. I can see that you designed this watch to be different. Unique. And it's cool, but it's not for me. Well, that's my rant. I hope I didn't come across too lamely. Anyways, your always pumping out concepts that I love, so 1 that I don't love isn't something to write home about. Keep up your great work Sam.
