(English) Design submitted by Sam from Germany.

(English) Design by Laszlo from Hungary.
Laszlo says: Many of the digital concepts presented on the blog show hours and minutes, but not seconds.

(English) Design submitted by Peter from the UK.
Peter says: This is “HUD” which stands for “Heads up Display”.

(English) Design submitted by Sam from Germany.
Sam says: In the design process for my FOCUS watch I sketched for a concept called ALIEN TATTOO that uses the same way of stacking numbers.

(English) Design submitted by Heather (USA) & Sam (Germany).
At least since the 20th century, many artists and architects have proportioned their works to approximate the golden ratio (phi φ) — especially in the form of the golden rectangle — believing this proportion to be aesthetically pleasing.
