Design submitted by Firdaus from Malaysia.
Firdaus says : I was influenced by many Japanese Tokusatsu and most of them featured henshin gadget that are very futuristic and stylish. Inspired by the shape of digit “4″ and Japanese “つ” (tsu), I came up with this watch design. Read the rest of this entry »
Design Submitted by Heather from the USA.
Heather says: My favorite type of display for a watch is a digital, read-at-a-glance, “always on” display that appears cryptic to the outsider. I started with a rectangular four-quadrant format for the digits. By cutting out circular pieces I found that I could create some recognizable yet abstract looking digits.

Design Submitted by Paolo from the Netherlands.
Paolo says: Like everyone else I encountered the fact that time can be an enemy or friend. This concept reflects this idea. Radar is used to detect any intruding objects and establishes them to be friend or foe. Read the rest of this entry »
Design submitted by Ignacio from Spain.
Ignacio says: The original idea came from my brother Jose. He showed me a sketch with 4 crosses and I helped to develop it and made the renders.
We thought at the moment it had to be a touchscreen. We also think that the screen is made of black mineral crystal lens (just like your watch Oberon), which can’t see anything until it is turned on. Read the rest of this entry »
Design submitted by Laszlo from Hungary.
Laszlo says: Binary LCD watch with always on display for geeks in silver or black version.
The time displayed in binary format with big, stylized 0 and 1 numbers on the LCD screen. Backlight activated automatically when the ambient light is low. The reading system is easy to all who knows the binary numbers. (Embossed numbers on the case help to counting.) Read the rest of this entry »
Design submitted by Sam from Germany.
Sam says : The inspiration for this watch comes from the infinite tunnel you can create with two mirrors and from the way, the Kisai 3D Unlimited handles LCD. My idea is to combine the tunnel effect with a colored LCD display and an interesint way to show numbers. Read the rest of this entry »
Design submitted by Laszlo from Hungary.
Laszlo says: It’s a simple LCD watch design. The time is always on display.
Massive, stylish case and strap. The position of dots on the display than the traditional numbers, except for the middle four spots. These are just a one-minute show. Very easy to read the time. The display background was always lighting paint coating (20 years of continuous light output).
This highly increases the battery life. The inverted display mode is also available.
Design Submitted by Heather (USA) & Sam (Germany).
Sam and Heather came up with this idea together, by building upon a much simpler version that Heather initially suggested. The original concept was a digital watch that seemed to be analog. Through conversations back and forth, the idea gradually developed into what you see here. “Out of Order” appears to be a malfunctioning analog watch with mixed up numbers, whose second hand moves clockwise, while the minute hand moves backwards at ten times the speed. The hour hand does not work at all… Read the rest of this entry »
Design submitted by Logan from the USA.
Logan says: I designed “Sequence” to balance simplicity and complexity. The appearance is always complex, but Mode 0 is easy and simple to read. Mode 3, on the other hand, is logically simple to read, but difficult enough to provide mental exercise for those who want it. Read the rest of this entry »
Kisai On Air is the fourth fan-submitted concept to become reality from the Tokyoflash Design Studio Blog. The conceptual idea for On Air was submitted in August 2010 by readers of the blog and fans of Tokyoflash, Iskender Asanaliev & Adilet Asanaliev, from Kyrgyzstan. Read the rest of this entry »
Design submitted by Lloyd from Australia.
Lloyd says: “This watch design is based on one of my puzzle ideas and, although it looks baffling initially, is actually incredibly easy to understand. It is called “Domino FX” because of the 4 domino-like figures in the display. However, these are not really dominoes, but digital 8s with up to 7 spots arranged inside each.
Design submitted by Heather from the USA.
Heather says: I was sketching digits that appeared to be folded over two faces of a cube, when it occurred to me that they would look even more interesting if one face showed a positive display of the digit, while the other showed a negative one. The display is “TWOFOLD”. Read the rest of this entry »
Design submitted by Lloyd from Australia.
Lloyd says: This watch design is called “Tsumu” after the Japanese word meaning “to stack”.
Instead of having 4 relatively small digits displayed beside each other, as with conventional digital watches, I thought it might be fun to make them much larger and of different shades, colours and thicknesses and stacked on top of each other so that, while they might still be easily recognizable to the initiated, they might just seem like a meaningless array of colourful shapes to everyone else. That said, the time and date can be displayed as an animation by pressing the appropriate button twice, so that the digits are revealed one after another in order from the bottom to the top.

Design submitted by Peter from the UK.
Peter says: The inspiration for this concept is based on the old mobile phone game “Snake”.The premiss for the game: you control a snake, around the screen pixel blocks appear which you try to intercept. As your snake eats the blocks the snake gets longer and longer.
The game is over when you run into your own tail or the edges of the screen.
Design submitted by Cory from the USA.
Cory says: Circles are typical aspects of most timepieces. Using ovals seems more chic. I wanted to create a mirrored LCD watch with an angular case, and very futuristic, organic arc as its read out. Read the rest of this entry »
