I really like the idea behind this watch. It also has a really cool, but still simple design. I’m only afraid of it becoming difficult to read.

Ik durfde hem ook al bijna niet in te sturen vanwege alle gelikte ontwerpen die ik hier steeds zie. Ik denk niet dat die ooit in produktie gaat maar je kan altijd hopen.

I see! You are right. The working is different but it looks surprisingly similar. Very nice

This was my LCD version, larger cubes but similar look, lol

Veeery cool idea! I like what you did there. I wonder what would happen if you used negative cubes for the numbers instead of empty ones, you know while the most cuber are convex, the number cubes could be concave. Anyway, the light idea combined with the tilt of the watch is so nice, 5*/YES

Sorry, Ik was even te snel ik bedoelde 45 euro aan belasting en invoer kosten.

Ron, ik moet zeggen je ontwerp ziet er fantastisch uit. Ik volg de blog al een tijdje, en dit is een verademing om te zien in vergelijking na een hoop overdesigns wat ik de laatste tijd heb gezien. Ik vind dat ze het nieuwe concept van klok kijken veel te ver gaat. Je hebt voor een hoop designs een HBO opleiding nodig, of je moet wel haast autist zijn om er nog wijs uit te worden. Dat is gelukkig niet het geval bij jou horloge (positief bedoeld ****)
alleen misschien wat meer kleur zou ik zeggen.

PS als je horloge in productie mocht gaan verwacht ik wel een goede korting, pas nog een Denshoku besteld, en moest ruim 45 euro betalen.

The score is rediculously low for this design, please stop downrating people.

@ Pete Yeah it’s really a nice design.

@ Ron Seriously you need to employ fanboy to support this design. Where’s everyone?

I guess it would be a similar process to the lenticular lens that Laszlo used recently. So its probably just a case of getting the angle of the faces right. I hope it can be done cos it would be awesome!

I’ll stick it on my fb page (PF Design) tonight, are you on fb? If not I can link it here?

Hahha, that’s funny. I’m really interested what your design looks like. So submit it…

Thanks all. I’m not a watch designer so designing the face and strap can be done better I suppose. Although I don’t know if it can ever be made I really like the tilting idea to play with.

Wow you have no idea how similar this looks to a design I have sitting on my computer which I havent submitted yet, its spooky! I was wondering whether or not to submit, this answers that question.
I must admit I didnt use the tilt/light angle in the time telling, it was just and LCD shining through a cubey lens. But the visual was very similar. So I support it for two reasons, the similar look and the more advanced time telling method! 5/Y Best of luck!
