(English) Design submited by Gordon from the USA.
Gordon says: The name of this watch is “Spare Time”
Oh no, I dropped my watch and there are pieces everywhere.
(English) Design submitted by Peter from the UK.
Peter says: This is Discus, a back-to-basics disc style analogue watch. The styling is influenced by retro sci-fi as well as more modern sci-fi films. I wanted to design a disc analogue watch that was in theory easy to make but still looked exciting.
(English) Design submitted by Laszlo from Hungary.
Laszlo says: It’s a 24 h format LCD watch. Indicate the time with stripped digits. The upper two digits is the hours and the lower two is the minutes.
The abstract-looking figures makes the reading mysterious but easy to learn.
(English) 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”
(English) Design submitted by Lloyd from Australia.
Lloyd says: In this LCD concept watch design, called “Orbiter”, the time is conveyed by space debris in orbit around a silver disc representing the Earth.

Peter says: This is “Max6Zero” after a robot from the film “The black hole”
(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 Laszlo from Hungary.
Laszlo says : LCD version of my older 12-5-9 style concept in new stylish case.
Very easy to read. The outer twelve segments surrounding the face indicate the hours, the five big inner segments show 10 minutes group, and the nine small are the single minutes.
The LCD screen is radically reduces the power consumption.
(English) Design submitted by Clarence-Junius from the USA.
Clarence-Junius says: As an artist I use the color wheel a lot which inspired me to use that as a theme for this design. The vivid hues of a color wheel would look great as a time piece.
(English) Design submitted by Ignacio from Spain.
Ignacio says: This is a redesign of my first idea published on tokyoflash blog, Ronu. I always loved my first idea, but in 2011 (the year I designed it), I had no idea of 3D, as you can see. It’s some ugly the design I did, isn’t?
That’s why I redesign it, trying to do the best I know to date, trying to refresh it, to upgrade it.
(English) 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.
(English) Design submitted by Anders from Sweden.
Anders says: Scribbling away one day, I sketched a display with curving lines across it. It looked to me like some sort of scanner display as seen in countless SF films. A few more lines and I had a concept; Astrolabe. The always-on OLED display adds visual punch.
(English) Design submitted by Lloyd from Australia.
Lloyd says: I thought it would be kind of cool to use a bonsai tree for a watch display and this LCD concept watch design called “Bonsai” is the result.
(English) Design submitted by Heather from the USA.
Heather says: My brother thought up the phrase “SPLIT SECOND”, and this concept was born. I thought, maybe I can make a display that is mostly seconds, but split them in half so there is constant movement on a large portion of the display. Then I made the hours and minutes smaller and squeezed them in between the top and bottom of the seconds.
