Design submitted by Heather from the USA.
Heather says: “After completing my VISE concept, with vertically elongated digits, I considered trying to develop some horizontally elongated digits, and LATITUDE was born.
Latitude is an always-on digital display that includes hours, minutes, and seconds in the format hhmmss from top to bottom. ย Each digit is made of seven segments, but they are all horizontal, which makes them flatten out a bit and allows for 6 digits to be displayed quite easily.
Those who prefer a read at a glance, accurate time display will appreciate this easy to read concept, which gives the time to the second.
This unisex design stands out because it is offering a new arrangement for digits, without taking up too much space. ย This design can be executed with a relatively small case to wrist ratio (and slim), which can make it very appealing to the small wristed Tokyoflash fan community.”
As always with your work.
Exact the right level of mystery until you solve the riddle, then it is as easy as anthing.
I do like the slim, elegant case. 5*/Y

Hey Heather,
This looks cool! Cryptic but easy to read at the same time. It reminds me of the way early computers used to load up images a line at a time, real retro futuristic look! 5/Y Best of luck! ๐

Damn cryptic, but I think it’s cool. A good rival for Kisai Upload for smaller wrist. I can imagine this in real. Good luck!

Hey, Firdaus. Thanks. You know, I didn’t realize how cryptic this one was until some people started telling me to explain it because they didn’t know how to read it…If you can imagine it real, that’s quite a compliment, so thank you!! ๐

Stylish visual effect of the display (liiiiines) , easy to read, cryptic at first glance – quite nice. Maybe too simple display, maybe simple enough. Good luck in any case ๐

It’s a very nice looking watch Heather and people do seem to like barcodes round here! ๐ However, having so many horizontal lines in close proximity makes me feel a bit sick. Please don’t hate me and good luck with it. ๐
