(English) Design submitted by Kevin from the USA.
Kevin says that the idea for this concept came to him when he was thinking about the “tunnel” from a retro TV show called Time Machine. Quite a minimal design but with an interesting tunnel effect display with green LED lines moving in from the outside edges. Read the rest of this entry »

(English) Submitted by Laszlo from Hungary.
Another beautiful concept from Laszlo here. He explains it as a “circular view of time”. There are two variations; a silver version for day time which uses LCD to show the time and a black version for night time that uses LEDs to display the time. As you can see, this design is clear and intuitive to read; 12 hours, 5 groups of 10 minutes and 9 single minutes in three separate segments make up the time. The pattern on the display changes constantly as time progresses. Read the rest of this entry »

(English) Design submitted by Heather from the USA.
Heather says: “I was inspired by the recent minimalist watch posted on the blog, as well as the R75 watch from Tokyoflash Design Studio.
“The display is simply dots arranged in a rectangular array, but using different colors. The large digits for hours (in blue) can be easily distinguished from the smaller digits (in green) for minutes. This design will most likely be rather large, and therefore will be more appropriate for men. The display of digits inside of other digits is different from many other designs posted so far.” Read the rest of this entry »

(English) Design submitted by Patrick from France.
Patrick says “this is a response to my “Minimalist Watch” that was not, at that time on the blog (I thought it was really too simple). I had already sketched this “Alien Watch” in pencil, and I dared not to create a rendering on my computer. It’s completely out of tune with its exuberance of complex shapes.” Read the rest of this entry »

(English) Design submitted by Laszlo from Hungary.
A simple time way to read the time, integrated into a simple case design. Laszlo suggests this design would use OLED to display the time but could alternatively use LCD blocks and then, like the Tokyoflash Rogue watch, could light up to highlight the time in green as on the example picture.

(English) Design submitted by Patrick from France.
The innovation in this concept LED watch is the “Free Push” which enables the LEDs to illuminate with the push of a finger or other body part without using the other hand, with a”beep” sound when pressed on the half-sphere center (see figure below). “If you have one hand occupied, you can turn the clock on against the cheek or on the hip!” Read the rest of this entry »
