Shadows LCD watch lifts time out of the shade.

Design submitted by Lloyd from Australia.

Lloyd says: This concept watch design is called “Shadows” and is based on a puzzle idea I had some years ago. The display may look cryptic at first, but is actually very easy to read once you know the trick behind it.

Shadows has both a time and date mode. Each strange looking figure in the display is a digit shown with its shadow in the same colour. There is an explanatory diagram below.

This watch is USB rechargeable via a computer and the strap is made from a man-made material that is animal friendly. The watch comes with a choice of several different coloured straps and the display is available in different colours too.

I feel this design would appeal to puzzle, game and sci-fi lovers in particular. It would also suit geeks and anyone who likes quirky modern things, creativity, lateral thinking and thinking “outside the box”.

This design stands out because of its unique and original cryptic display which is also modern-looking and very simple to read.

  1. Oh very cool!! I like this idea – making strange new symbols with the well known numbers. Cool that the little windows aren’t rectangular and adapt to the symbols. The case and these “friends” for the straps are simple and nice. Cryptic at first, easy to read actually and a cool expression. 5*/YEPP

    • Thanx a lot Ryan. 🙂 If Tokyoflash were to make this watch, I’m sure they would take care of things like that. :o) Don’t forget, this is just a concept.

  3. I really, really love it. At first glance it looks exceedingly cryptic, but it is actually VERY easy to decipher the time. I would buy a purple one for sure. It would be great to have the option of having both a plain and a multi-coloured band, so the fashion conscious could switch them. This is also a good ‘gender neutral’ design. If I had the option, I would give this one a six!

  4. I love reading windows and I would have pushed the idea to make the the watchcase the same form (“1” reversed), but these are just my ideas weird …
    5 * and Yes for the novelty!

  5. Au début, on a eu un peu de mal à comprendre le mode d’affichage mais une fois que le cerveau a assimilé le fonctionnement, tout devient clair.
    C’est une montre géniale pour dérouter son entourage et se faire plaisir.

  7. Thanx a lot Richard! No other functions. Just time and date. If TF were to make it, they would probably add some others like alarm etc.
