(English) Design submitted by Sam from Germany.
Sam says: This watch concept is a proposal for the usage of an accelerometer. The tilting angle of the watch could define the look of the display. Only one special angle lets the watch show the time in a readable fashion. The wearer could define this angle by pressing a button when facing the display. Doing so would RESET the display. Any other angle different from the defined one, causes the numbers to dissolve. The bigger the tilting angle, the stronger the effect.

(English) Design submitted by Heather from the USA.
Heather says: In an attempt to “change the way I think about time”, I pondered ways of telling time that could be different. In doing so, I thought about an hourglass, which led to the creation of rounded digits that could appear to fill an hourglass.

(English) Design submitted by Jose from Spain.
Jose says: I could say that this idea came to me after exciting reading about the machine “Enigma”, developed by the Germans to encrypt their messages during II World War, or has been the result of using a metalanguage as Leetspeak, or such once a strange code suggested by a science fiction movie, but none of this would be true. The truth, is that the idea came accidentally to stay absorbed looking at the mini keyboard of my Macbook; suddenly, there it was, the first line of keys, and above each number a symbol, and thus the ¡1 to 0!.

(English) Design submitted by Zoltan from Hungary.
Zoltan says: I wanted to created a watch that looks special, but you couldn’t tell at first glance what it is.
Nevertheless it’s easy to tell the time by looking at it.
The watch has 13 LEDs in a single row.The LEDs are controlled by an accelerometer and as you shake your hand they light up at the appropriate time to show the digits.

(English) Design submitted by Ron from The Netherlands.
Ron says: I was playing around withe the iPad tilt function and wondered if I could make it work into a watch.
The watch should be sleek, sophisticated and simple. You see a lot of tiny cubes. By changing the tilt of the watch you change direction the light shines on the cubes. The numbers also consists of the same cubes but they stay the same so you can see them by changing the rest of the cubes by tilting the watch. Sounds hard but it is simple.

(English) Design submitted by Sam from Germany.
Sam says: Since I made my tilt sensitive watch concept, I thought about a more impressive way to use a tilt sensor. Gravity is a concept, in which the numbers aren’t attached to the display as we know it but freely falling around, depending on the orientation of the watch. Read the rest of this entry »

(English)
A new concept from the Tokyoflash Design Studio.
Using an accelerometer or tilt sensor, the interface of this design rotates adding an interesting element of movement to the design and to ensure that the current minutes are always aligned at the 12 o’clock position. Read the rest of this entry »

ブラジルのFelipe Eiji Takahashiさんの作品。
以下はTokyoflashのコメントです。加速度センサーと液体をイメージしたインターフェイスの組み合わせはとても面白く、可能性を感じます。ただ、現状のままでは、現在時刻の位置に水位が定まらず、読みづらそうですね。例えば、オイルと水を組み合わせたような、二層の表示にするアイデアはどうでしょうか。下の層は現在時刻を表示したまま、上の層だけ液体のように動くようにすると、この問題は解決できそうです。
