Design submitted by Heather from the USA.
Heather says: My brother actually came up with the idea for a watch called PART TIME, and originally designed the digits for it. I submitted these digits back then, but did not have a good presentation for it, so it never showed up on the blog. Now that my 3D skills have improved, I decided it is time for me to resubmit.
Design submitted by Heather from the USA.
Heather says: I thought of the digits for this design while driving. The lights on the back of the car in front of me formed a curve, and I based the digits on similar curved shapes.
Design submitted by Peter from the UK.
Peter says: I have submitted a few analogue designs in the past and most were perhaps a little too imaginative. They tended to be technically un-feasible and required expensive bespoke mechanisms to allow them to work. For this concept I decided to go back to basics and use a traditional disc style analogue time telling using similar construction to “Uzumaki”

Peter says: This is “Max6Zero” after a robot from the film “The black hole”
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.
Design submitted by Sam from Germany.
Sam says: I thought about splitting up the information of an analog display up into several ring segments. The result is the Cassini.
Design submitted by Anders from Sweden.
Anders says: Sketching display layouts, I hit upon the idea of dividing an LED display by running wires above it. After refining the idea I had this; Cage. The display comprises 5 rows of 9 LED segments, telling time in the good old 12-5-9 format.
Design submitted by Patrick from France.
Patrick says: I stumbled upon a project that I submitted in September 2010 and the second version also proposed end of September 2010, but never published because certainly it was not formatted for the blog? (I of course adapted the format, with the technical constraints of Blog)
Design submitted by Clement from Singapore.
Clement says: I was thinking that watches nowadays are looking so sleek and machined. Not that this is bad, but somehow they just lack the human touch.
My design is based off a woven friendship bracelet.
Design submitted by Heather form the USA.
Heather says: ZAG was inspired by Firdaus’ V watch concept. I started with a similar V, but turned it on its side, gave it an overlap, and decided that 4 separate digits in this format would look really cool on a bracelet style watch.
Design submitted by Matthew from the USA.
Matthew says: I came up with this concept while I was working on another concept. I started to play around with the logo. I cropped off the top part of the logo, and placed it basically right next to the bottom half. This gave me the inspiration of creating a design that can be easily read, while the top half of the number is sliced from the bottom half of the number.
Design submitted by Valentin from the USA.
Valentin says: I have always wanted a bracelet-watch. one that looks exactly like a bracelet but can still tell time. uniquely.
Design submitted by Peter from the UK.
Peter says: I was being dragged around the shops by my better half over the xmas period and saw some very nice modern xmas tree globes which were made from a single strip of metal formed into a sphere, they looked like a peeled orange for want of a better description. Read the rest of this entry »
Design submitted by Heather from the USA.
Heather says: I started to think about a cool way to show numbers by making use of the negative space. So I tilted the digits, and zoomed in, cutting off the upper left and bottom right corner of each digit, which surprisingly does not affect the ability to identify them.
Design submitted by Laszlo from Hungary.
Laszlo says: Bracelet style binary watch with time and date functions. The LEDs on the left side indicates the hours or the months, on the right side the LEDs indicates the minutes or the days. This concept inspired by Ice Samurai watch.
