Unique design that makes us think about the watch and the design, not just the time.

It would be a pain in the butt to count all those lines. Is it 11 or 12? Gah. This would be a great watch for Raymond from Rain Man.

This reminds me of a concept by anders some time ago. This one: http://www.tokyoflash.com/blog/2011/03/projekt-watch-design-projects-the-time/ I like that one more because it looks more stylish, like a car detail. This version here is too minimalistic for me, although the display solution looks more readable because of this minimalism. If i wear a watch, I want to feel it. A proper strap, a cool case, a certain weight. And i want the time. There is a tron inspired watch out there (no, please dont think, i mean the 7r0n) and it also has only 5 minute iterations. Why? This stuff costs money! Why would I buy a watch wich does not have the basic function? Let my use firdaus’ rating points:

creativity: 3/5 too basic
originality:3/5 Not new
design:4/5 minimalistic but too light
wow effect: 3/5 I’m not excited, i’m sorry

So I give you neutral *** and a NO.

I have a mixed feeling about this design. On one side I agree that this watch looks cool, I like the minimalist design, however the idea where I have to count the light to know the time is really troublesome, especially if you don’t have good eyesight. Why don’t you just project the “number” of time instead of strip of lines?

Yeah, although I’ve often found that I am the second (or third, or fourth =) to come up with it…

Yep, guilty as charged… No worries, I’m cool with it as long as people don’t simply copy other people’s work (which would show pretty quickly, and I’m sure the good folks at TF would notice). Lord knows I’ve been influenced by all sorts of stuff, so it’d be a bit rich to get up in arms about others taking inspiration from what I’ve done, or from the same sources. Not that that seems to be the case here, but you know what I mean…=)

creativity: 4/5
originality:3/4
design:4/5
wow effect: 4/5

verdict: a good, simple looking futuristic hand band that uniquely works as time keeper. looking forward for something like this to be produced. BUY.

Love it. I’d buy it. In fact I will buy it when it’s made.

Better hope you’re never on Star Trek, wearing that red shirt

Anders, Did you also do the Gnomn concept aswell?
The reason I ask is that I submitted a sun-dial concept a few weeks ago, I then saw yours a couple of days after. Doh!
So if it does get on the blog, the simularities are entirely coincidental.

I remember that one aswell, it was a nice concept.
I always think if a couple of people come up with a similar idea that usually means its a good idea!

By: Anders S

Anders S — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 14:03:47 +0000

Yep, that was one of mine. It’s quite similar, but the hardware, display and overall look are all different. I wondered if anyone would notice the similarity, nice that someone remembered! =)

Isn’t there a similar concept already on this blog from a few months ago, I think it was called Project or something like that?

this watch idea is cool, It really would work well. I would buy it if it had a proper watch bracelet, this watch idea would work well if created
