Time is nearly up for this entry, so thanks to everyone who supported, voted or commented on this concept. I think it got a very reasonable score overall considering the simple visuals. Not bad for a first attempt!
Hopefully the TF gods saw some merit in the idea or have at least had a play in the studio with some magnets and bits of swarf! (if only for fun)

Kind Regards

Pete from the UK

The clock is ticking on this one, if there are any more supporters out there now is the time.

I’m glad you see the potential, not everyone sees past the simple visuals (I should have spent more time on the looks) but again this is a concept rather than polished design. Thanks for feedback

Very cool technology. The display would be boring if it wouldn’t be made of iron fillings. Interesting watch with potential.

Hi TF,

I don’t know whether or not you will read this but I was wondering, I submitted quite a few other concepts shortly after this one (end of July start of August) and they seem to be taking a long time to get on the blog. Is there a back-log (and I should be more patient) or were they not up to the standard?

Hi Derek,

Thanks for the theoretical 5 * and yes.

5 * and yes in theory as it will not save my vote

Hi Wayne,

I think if it was to be made there could be a selection of straps and finishes to suit peoples individual tastes.
Thank you for the feedback.

Very simple but also very interesting! I like the idea of the watch manipulating the ion filings in order to tell the time and if the strap was changed I would certainly buy one!

Thankyou TF for taking the time the comment and putting my mind at rest.
Nice work on the 3D unlimited by the way!!

Hi Pete, just to allay your concerns, the rating is only one of a number of criteria that we consider when choosing designs to become reality. The final rating is not the main factor that affects choosing a design to make. There are a number of other factors that hold weight in the decision.

These include but are not limited to:

- is the idea is completely unique
- is it is feasible for the design to be manufactured
- is the design is economically viable
- does the design have an interesting theme and who is the design aimed at
- will the design fit into our product range in 9-12 months time
- is the design suitably different to other designs that we will have in our product range

My light speed arrived today. Thanks TF for the excellent and prompt service.
Probably the best 30quid I’ve spent in a long time!

Hi Jordan,

I took a look at the liquid magnetic watch you linked, thats frickin cool. Hard to read the time but very sinister looking. I wonder if TF looked into the feasibility.
