So (by me) that TF decide, they know better than me how it works this world of the market, design and others. Now that some have mentioned it, I see the design aimed more to women than to men, but my intention was to make it unisex, so the men could wear without problems. Anyway, if TokyoFlash decides to develope it, I think they'll make the best possible design. And I think the final look will change a lot. :D Well, we'll see how this ends. Thank you very much for your comment Sam! About the 24h or 12 mode, personally, I don’t care, I have no problems, I understand both modes.

Also I use Illustrator (the last image, the "how to", was made with this program) or Photoshop to edit the renders. But there are many ways to do it. Just use what you have at your disposal and you know. Thank for your comment! :) Personally, I use Blender, a “free open source 3D content creation suite”, to make the 3D objects and render them.

Three points to solve it forever: a) be open for the fact, that others have other preferences b) Tokyoflash will be wise enough to make options, it's just a software issue. c) and if not, it's a small inconvenience one could live with. It's nothing compared to how Tokyoflash watches and those in the blog make your brain work. So "practical" is a word with a new meaning, if you evaluate concepts here within these pages. Phew, now to the watch :D I like the 3x3 time telling method. Here you have 4 squares and people go like "Heh? I don't see a 12" Lol. A positive/negative disaplay is also just a software issue - piece of cake. I'm not fluffy with the jewelry style, but I like the female approach you make - that's rare in the blog. With some minor changes, it could be unisex. But if it were female only, it's alright. Tokyoflash could use this :) So, besides minor changes and things, that are just a piece of cake and in Tokyoflash's hands anyway (if they choose to make it), this is a very cool 5* concept I could imagine to be in the shop. Good luck Ignacio! Wow, I don’t know why the 24h or 12h mode is such a big issue.

With your comment I see the design more feminine. Maybe I have designed a unisex watch? What would you do to make it more feminine Firdaus? And thank you so much Firdaus-san! :D That’s right.

I prefer, and see more logical, 12h mode that 24h. Everyone knows if it is morning or evening, so 12h mode is the most appropriate. Just to ilustrate the design I used the 24h mode, but TF, if they choose to develop it, will decide the best option. And now that you mention it, I could have designed it to be 12h mode: the problem, either 12 or 24, is that the tens of hours just reaching the number 2, having 7 small squares that are not be used; in 12h mode, as a possibility, it could be used 2 of those squares for PM and PM indicators. @TokyoFlash: And now we're talking about it, a friend suggested me the idea of inverting the display: for X, turn on all except the X square. That could fix the problem of squares that are not used in the tens of hours and minutes. Get it?

Whenever you look at your watch to find the time, do you say to yourself: "It's 19:45" or "It's 7:45"? Whenever someone asks you for the time, do you say to them: "It's 19:45" or "It's 7:45"? I believe that most people (if not all) would respond with "7:45" rather than "19:45". Is this watch creative and beautiful? Yes. Is this watch practical? No. I would consider buying this only if it has the 12HR display option. I’m really against the 24HR watches because of the practical issue.

Some will love it as it is, but for me its a little classic looking. I would prefer something more futuristic. But the concept is the important thing and it has potential! Your welcome btw :D Yeah the styling is a very subjective thing. Some will love it as it is, but for me its a little classic looking.

It's something comforting see other people consider and appreciate your work. The styling... I thought it was the right one. But as always, it's Tokyoflash who will decide the final look, as you say.

Yeah, you're right, in that example, it's 23:59, not 13:59. About the reading's issue, I think it's easy to see what number is. For example, in the case of 12:59 (fourth image, first example), it is easy to see that the first number is 1 because it is the top left, 2 it is above and center, the 5 is exactly in the center of his quadrant, and 9 is down right. Well, at least I think it looks easy. And I'm glad you like it! Thank you! :) Oh, how could I not see that bug? Yeah, you’re right, in that example, it’s 23:59, not 13:59.
