Design submitted by Cory from the USA.
Cory says: While toying with an interesting take on an analog design, I thought of an interesting way to make use of E-ink technology. The RingSix was the result. Read the rest of this entry »

Design submitted by Cory from the USA.
Cory says: Geometric patterns, particularly squares and triangles are everywhere, one just has to look. Why not use the interplay between these two shapes as a time telling method.

Design submitted by Devindh from the UK.
Devindh says: Project ‘ripple’. I watched a presentation on youtube from CES 2012 about the current state of e-paper devices (mainly from e-ink). One aspect of this technology that stood out for me is its ability to maintain curvature and still be legible/functional. I decided to create a design with this as the main focus.

Design submitted by Ignacio from Spain.
Ignacio says: This design is a variation of another one that I am developing. The original idea is a watch with just one handle, and this design is a version of the same idea but with a more futuristic style. The time is displayed in two separate rings on the outside shows the minutes, and within the hour. Read the rest of this entry »

Design submitted by Cory from the USA.
Cory says: Wordclouds are a new phenomenon that has shown up in internet culture. It seems that a watch using E-ink that displays a wordcloud of the current time or date in interesting fonts would be a cool thing to have on your wrist. From this idea Clouds emerged. Read the rest of this entry »

Design Submitted by Ron from USA
At Tokyoflash this design got us thinking. Its a simple idea, but we think it would be popular with anyone studying science especially Chemistry of course. In the past we have had a few watches that really grabbed the attention of a certain group. For example, the Morse Code watch was very popular with Radio enthusiasts. Read the rest of this entry »

Design submitted by Laszlo from Hungary.
A clever watch design from Laszlo here which uses e-ink technology to display the time and date. This watch design is very simple to read as you can see from the images below. The time is shown digitally using shapes that are very close to real numbers. It would certainly be easy to get the hang of quite quickly. Read the rest of this entry »

Design submitted by Sam from Germany.
Sam says: “I am inspired by the so called Rorschach test. This phsychological test works with symmetrical images which should judge a person’s perception and imagination. Read the rest of this entry »

Design submitted by Brent from the USA.
Brent says: “I came up with the idea for this concept from looking at old jump-hour watches. I like the way they look and move and thought it would be interesting to design an e-ink take on a jump hour watch.

Design submitted by Jonathan from France.
Jonathan says: “I wanted to use e-ink technology which is ideal for small displays like watches; low energy, sharpness, contrast. The clarity of black and white is also interesting.

Design submitted by Sam from Germany.
Sam came up with the idea of a 12-5-9 watch with all the time telling LEDs placed on one single circle. If it is 1:00 there is only one light that fills the whole circle. If it is 1:23, there are six lights (one for the hours, 2 for the minutes x10, and three for the minutes x1). Read the rest of this entry »

Design submitted by Genghis from France.
Genghis says “While looking at older entries, I realized that a lot of classical patterns or symbols were used, but not the infinity symbol. My initial idea was to use one circle for hours and the other one for minutes. But there were problem with the display in the “cross” area. The solution I found is a display with a gradient. It works for each display of time. This is easy to read and gives an unique looking to the watch. Electronic ink could be a good technology for this display and the watch is designed for both men and women. Many colors choices are possible.”
