Design submitted by Peter from the UK.
Peter says: This is “Artifact” an object found on a newly colonised planet. Its origins and primary purpose are unknown. Its believe this is a relic of a lost advanced civilisation destroyed by its own creations. The science and tech division have discovered that one of its basic functions can be used to tell the time.

Design submitted by Lloyd from Australia.
Lloyd says: This concept watch design is called “Shadows” and is based on a puzzle idea I had some years ago. The display may look cryptic at first, but is actually very easy to read once you know the trick behind it. Read the rest of this entry »
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 Peter from the UK.
Peter says: The idea for this watch was inspired by honeycomb as the name suggests. The naturally occurring structures are both beautiful and have a high strength to weight ratio. I found the segmentation of the honeycomb shape very appealing and though it would make a novel time display. Read the rest of this entry »
Design submitted by Sam from Germany.
Say says: The initial idea was to combine the time telling numbers into one shape, one symbol, one thing that looks interesting and has the important information visible all the time.
After playing around with different ways to interlace numbers, the result was stacking two pairs of numbers upon each other, a big one and a small one. The big background numbers tell the hours (or the months). The small foreground numbers tell the minutes (or the days). Read the rest of this entry »
Design submitted by Laszlo from Hungary.
Laszlo says: 12-5-9 concept. The hours on 3 axis, the ten minutes is in the inner band and the single minutes and the second (blinking segment) in the middle band. The time reading is easy Read the rest of this entry »
Design submitted by Peter from the UK.
Peter says: This is Turbine LCD (MkII).
Following the popularity of the original Turbine I decided that I would like to make a more feasible version, as this seemed to be the biggest stumbling block with the original.
This version uses a simple always on LCD display in conjunction with a moulded lens in the shape of the original version’s turbine blades. Read the rest of this entry »
Design submitted by Lloyd from Australia.
Lloyd says: This watch design is called “Decypher”. The display may look mysterious at first, but is actually very easy to decipher once you know the trick behind it.
Decypher has both a time and date mode. To see the digits in either mode, all you have to do is ignore the triangles and you’ll see that the remaining lines form digits. A cool feature of the display is that every digit, apart from the 8, can be displayed in more than one way by simply displaying different combinations of triangles. There is an explanatory diagram below. Read the rest of this entry »
A new concept from the Tokyoflash Design Studio.
‘Spider’, as the name suggests, is inspired by a spiders web. It uses hexagonal rings, similar to a web, to display numbers in a concentric pattern.
There are 4 rings to the web each representing a digit, such as 07:45, read from the outside-in. Read the rest of this entry »
Design submitted by Heather from the USA.
Heather says : While sketching some abstract digits with a goal of filling the display, I found that overlapping some of the digits made a nice geometric pattern. Then I thought about M.C. Escher, and some of his sketches of “impossible objects”, which has always been an intriguing concept for me. In my attempt to make the display look impossible, I instead found that the digits I had made appeared to be all tangled up, hence the name “TANGLED”. I then decided to include a pattern in the strap, which is reminiscent of the display format. Read the rest of this entry »
A new concept from the Tokyoflash Design Studio.
Quite simply, the watch face is a game of Sudoku. The missing numbers need to be solved to read the time.
The display is LCD & features would include date, alarm, EL backlight. The touch screen can be used to reveal the answers.
For people who enjoy puzzles & particularly Sudoku, its a great way to keep your brain stimulated during the day. Read the rest of this entry »
Design submitted by Sam from Germany.
Say says: I was sketching for a stylish way to transform the classic 7-segment numbers. One day I thought about how these numbers would look, if seen through a perforated metal plate. Its holes would have a different visual density depending on how much lines meet underneath.
This is where the idea for Digital Density was born.
Kisai Optical Illusion is the latest concept to become reality from the Tokyoflash Design Studio Blog. The concept was originally featured on the blog in September 2010. Kisai Optical Illusion is now available to buy in a choice of four color variations. Read the rest of this entry »
Design submitted by Ignacio from Spain.
Ignacio says: “The inspiration for this watch design came from my previous submission, 4Cross. It’s practically the same idea, but much more simple and with another aspect. I searched for some inspiration in the Tokyoflash Watch Museum, the Tibida and Pimp Pusher watches inspiring me the most. Read the rest of this entry »
