(English) 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 »

(English) Design submitted by Gordon from the USA.
Gordon says: I came upon this idea when contemplating one of those pin plates that are fun to put your face in.
Time is read digitally, but the display is produced by a matrix of individually controlled pins. This watch will not only have touch screen controls, it will also react as a fluid with ripples made when touched.I see the screen behaving as a low res mechanical display with limitless graphics opportunities.I apologise for showing only a couple but I hope I have made my point.

(English) 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.

(English) Design submitted by Peter from the UK.
Peter says: Traditional wrist watches tend to tell the time in a very 2D format, I am fascinated by the idea of using 3D to tell the time. I decided to use a sphere as it is about as 3D as it gets, also a sphere is omni-directional which lends it self to telling the time using more than one axis. Read the rest of this entry »

(English)
Design submitted by Laszlo from Hungary.
This mechanical watch design would require a large case and a reliable locking mechanism to ensure the cylinders lock on to the correct time. Three cylinders would rotate to reveal the time by digits (hours, 10 minute group and single minutes). A steampunkesque concept that would look incredible on your wrist.

(English) Design submitted by Anders from Sweden.
Anders says: This concept sprung from my thoughts on how to make a highly customisable watch with a feasible circular display. I wanted to get away from the rectangularity of LCD, TFT and the like. I came upon this idea, which evolved into something considerably more advanced than I was aiming for. Read the rest of this entry »
