Design submitted by Dietrich from Australia.
Dietrich says: I was looking at designs on Tokyoflash website and thinking that many of them are based on “codes” of some sort. Then I hit upon the idea of colour codes. Read the rest of this entry »
Design submitted by Sam from Germany.
Sam says: First there has been the sun dial. That has been mechanized and so it became independent from the sun. Then only the relevant numbers have been taken and time telling became digital. Later, these numbers have been represented by shapes and colors and so time telling became artistic. It’s time for another step, a watch that fuses all information into a compact display.

Design submitted by Peter from the UK.
Peter says: I have allways been interested in sci-fi films and wanted to design an unusual alien looking watch. I didn’t have a specific image in mind but the watch evolved into something that resembles a cross between the “Tripods” of “the war of the world” films, the little spacecraft/aliens from “batteries not included” and a mechanised turret.

Design submitted by Laszlo from Hungary.
This is an easy-to-read LED display watch design that shows time in a drop-down effect. Hours, minutes, and seconds are displayed from top to bottom once per second.
Design submitted by Miguel from the USA.
Miguel says: After looking through many concepts in the Tokyoflash blog, I noticed many watches incorporated designs modeled after the moon. I asked myself: “How could I come up with a design which used not only the moon, but also the sun?” Read the rest of this entry »
Design submitted by Heather from the USA.
Heather says: I was sketching square digits, and when I came up with these 3×3 digits, I realized that it would be possible to use the Kisai logo as an animated LED display, showing one digit at a time.
Design submitted by Erik from Colombia.
Erik says: I was trying to find a way to tell the time that is fast and easy. I thought the best way was to give hours a “cake”shape, form so anyone could just see it and know what is the time. With regards to the minutes I prefer ten minutes division at the bottom of the watch.
Design submitted by Sam from Germany.
Sam says: The inspiration for this watch comes from the multiverse hypothesis. It says, that there are parallel universes that represent alternative timelines. So everytime a decision has to be made, there are many options, many possibilities of how your path continues. One decision can lead to many ways as well as many ways can conclude into one decision. This relationship can be shown with parallel graphs that sometimes have connections. Read the rest of this entry »

“Cyclops” is a revamp of a previous design submission – the new design uses a square interface instead of a round one. Dietrich says: The original idea came to me when I was looking at designs on the Tokyoflash website and thinking that many of them are based on “codes” of some sort. Then I hit upon the idea of colour codes.
Design submitted by Peter from the UK.
Peter says: I wanted to design an elegant analogue watch using ribbons as a theme. The hands are in the shape of discs which have a ripple in them for highlighting the time and the strap is made of one continuous strip of material.
Design submitted by Andrew from the UK.
This LCD watch design concept is based on the interlocking hexagonal cells inside a honey bee’s hive. The time display is split into several time sections and divisions.
Design submitted by Laszlo from Hungary.
This watch design has an LCD and LED version with bouncing dots effect.
It is fitted with an acceleration sensor which activates and displays the time for 5 seconds with a sudden wrist movement. Read the rest of this entry »
Design submitted by Anders from Sweden.
Anders says: I’ve tried to design it to sit somewhere between art deco, raygun gothic and steampunk.
It is a classic analog watch where the ‘pole’ of the globe indicates the hour, the thin end of the inner orbit marks the minute, and the outer orbit the seconds. This ensures that the display is constantly moving at a noticeable speed, giving a more dynamic impression. Read the rest of this entry »
Design submitted by Zoltan from Hungary.
Zoltan says: I wanted to created a watch that looks special, but you couldn’t tell at first glance what it is.
Nevertheless it’s easy to tell the time by looking at it.
The watch has 13 LEDs in a single row.The LEDs are controlled by an accelerometer and as you shake your hand they light up at the appropriate time to show the digits.

Sam says: This time I liked to make an expressive watch based upon a pyramid. I was inspired by the theory, that the big pyramid in Giza (also: Gize, Gizeh) or mayan pyramids were build by aliens. The pyramids influence architecture in sci-fi movies so why not a watch? This I thought a futuristic alien pyramid watch would be cool.
