Looks pretty neat, but question, is the whole section of the time glass is clear or 100% transparent? if the numbers are presented in a color, probably silver bright, or people would have a hard time seeing the lines because of skin color, i do have a latin tanned skin, and i dont know how it would look like., plus…. does it have a light in the concept?

This is very cool, a cryptic and abstract way of telling the time. Very neat. I’m not sure, though, of the technical possibilities. Would it be sort of a liquid-crystal display sandwiched between two pieces of transparent plastic, or what?

5* and a yes from me.

If you could see your hairy wrist, it would certainly add to the spidery theme, reminiscent of creepy crawly hairy legs…….
Jokes aside, I think if it had a translucent instead of transparent display it would be very good though.

i think it’s one of the best concepts i’ve seen in a while from TokyoFlash.

Thanks for spotting that Heather, I would have liked one of my digit designs to have made the blog before this as now it would look like I was inspired by this design. I also had a third design using a similar priciple called ridge. So all three are now a little redundent.

Really a nice watch … different style of time telling machine … could you put some symbols of spider … using some vivid colors … and some animations … for spider ….

i like the digits, and the theme – the clear lcd to make it look more like a real spiderweb…
i’m just afraid that when produced, it would come out too large and clunky.
i would like a slightly smaller version if possible.

btw, these digits are very much like pete’s digit mkII design, only his hexagons were concave, while these are convex. i like that one a lot too, and one of the things i liked most about his version was the alternating colors for better reading clarity. (though i see why that would not necessarily fit the spider web theme you have going on here)

have you considered a few extra connecting lines to make it a bit more webby? ..maybe make them dotted to differentiate them from the lines that are telling the time.

May I ask what program(s) you use?

Oh right, you mean your latest design. Sorry Patrick.

Mushy, I talk about my new design, which “should” happen soon on the Blog?
I cross my fingers.

TF like it.

No worries. I think your last design is very attractive. Maybe the colours didn’t work for some people or maybe it’s just too cool for people to get. ;o)

Mushy and Pete, thank you for your interest in my projects!

Yes Pete, in the “ABOUT” TF gives his philosophy and that’s what attracted me, so I try to be different to match the idea.
My last design is different, but is it attractive?
