For the hours, you’re right. Technically you only need 8, for the 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11. However, for the minutes you need 8/12 or 60 indicators. For this design, I prefer 12 just so it’s not overcharged with indicators.

Thanks strawberry I’m glad you like it! Unfortunately, it’s only a conceptual design right now (but I’m hoping that will change!)

Thanks Makk!

Always on is my hope too. As for the indicators, very possible, however, it shouldn’t be that hard to find the almost-exact location of both 12 and 6 by finding the midpoint between the lines on the band.

I didn’t understand it at first but now that I look at it more its really easy, it would be a wonderful way to read the time and it would confuse my friends haha! I like the moon too so it would be great, where can I get this?? :3

I like the idea and the overall look. I would buy if it was an always-on tech. Some indicators would be nice. ( 12 )

Thanks Stein! I don’t know much about any kind of display really. Hopefully Tokyoflash knows how to deal with that though

Wow, I came across this concept whilst searching for the Ziiiro watch and I couldn’t help but comment on it.
It’s gorgeous and sleek and all that good stuff but judging by the other watches on this site, looks like it’s not likely to be created. Drawing the dynamic curves of the crescent moon would require something that neither LED or LCD can handle as they’re both segmented displays. It would require a vector display which, no other watch produced by Tokyoflash has.
In any case, I’ve voted 5* for this brilliant concept. Maybe the vector display will just be a challenge to Tokyoflash if they choose to make it
Best of luck!

Indeed LCD is fairly dim but it seems like brightness should be sacrificed for always on, crisp display quality (IMHO)
I actually have posted a number of designs (mainly last year when my 3d skill was below even beginner quality). I took a break to improve my 3ds max skill and ponder some designs and now I’m back and determined to join the several concept-to-reality designs by the many great designers here. As for representing the country, well, no pressure, right?
Thanks for the kind words and technical talk JP! I always appreciate and need it. Anybody can put together some shapes and colors to make something pleasing but far fewer can take that design and bring it to life.

It seems like it would have to be an always-on LCD, hey? It’s such a difficult decision… I find the LCDs to be so dim, which would take away from the beauty of this design!

If you’re only 15, your best years of design are still ahead of you. This is the first I’ve seen from you on here, and it’s a great starting point. I look forward to seeing more from you, Jordan. Represent our country well!

I woul encourage an always-on LCD display simply because I love having the display accessible without the need of another hand to press the button. LED is also possible though (perhaps an option for LCD or LED if the design is made). I’m not too knowledgable on the subject of LED vs. LCD however, I’m only 15 after all.

What you see and what you’ve read in the description is only my personal idealized version of this watch; after I get my idea out there, I’m always happy to leave it to all the knowledgable and friendly people here on the blog or at the Studio to shape the mechanics and behavior of it (to an extent).

Hope this answers your question =)
