Design submitted by Sam from Germany.
My idea is an LCD display, that reacts to light, like a human eye does. To express this idea, I let myself inspire by HAL 9000, the ship’s computer in Stanley Kubrick’s motion picture 2001: a space odyssey. Read the rest of this entry »
Design submitted by Peter from the UK.
Peter says: This is “Raptor”. I didnt really have a preconception for this design. I simply wanted to create an organic design with a simple time telling method. I started off sketching simple organic snake like forms which subconsciously became more engineered.
Design submitted by Logan from the USA.
Logan says: What to wear to a formal event? LEDs, a smoked black lens, and engraved metal.
Design submitted by Henry from the USA.
Henry says: I wanted something unique than a traditional round or square watch. Watching some sci-fi movies I liked the idea of a stretch/oblong face. Afterwards I tried to make it simple to read and design while having a futuristic look and have the face able to flip for right wrist wearing.

Peter says: This is ‘Drone’. I wanted to come up with a new watch using elements of Turbine, I thought what could be better than one Turbine?………..four Turbines was my answer.
Design submitted by Eivind from Norway.
Eivind says: I got my inspiration from classic science fiction, like 2001: A Space Odyssey and games like Mass effect and Deus EX. I liked the minimalistic design of the equipment and different tools. The style is simple, but it stands out. I also got inspiration from the popular products on the market today, like an iPhone or a pair of beats by Dr.Dre headphones.
Design submitted by Paolo from Canada.
Paolo says: I’ve always wanted a device like the one the Predator wears on his wrist. Illegible graphics count down some sort of time. Alien numbers… It just looks so cool.
So I decided to design a watch that resembles that device loosely and counts down in the same fashion every minute.
Design submitted by Colby from South Africa.
Colby says: The idea for the ‘Abandon’ came from a long time obsession with anything post-apocalyptic. Recently there’s been an abundance of movies, series and games which embrace nuclear fallout, zombie or robotic-alien themes. When challenged with the task of designing a watch, this was a strong influence.
Design submitted by Peter from the UK.
Peter says: This is “Y2Z” (Y two Z) I wanted to come up with a simple belt orientated design that looks really technical and Sci-fi but was ultimately makeable.
Design submitted by Sam from Germany.
Sam Says: Xtal is the result of some small sketches I made when having lunch. When I looked back at the paper, I liked the initial mystery of the numbers, the simple geometry of the watch and the general edginess of everything.
Design submitted by Peter from the UK.
Peter says: I have an interest in retro style computer games, the old 8 bit type stuff that tended to consist of wire frames to describe 3D forms. I figured this would make a nice watch face.
Design submitted by Gabriel from France.
Gabriel says: I was thinking for a while about a concept watch which would let me be connected to my smartphone with a Tokyoflash sci-fi touch and I came with this concept simply called “Smart connection”.
Design submitted by Peter from the UK.
Peter says: This is “HUD” which stands for “Heads up Display”.
Watches utilising a transparent display are a popular concept and always have a futuristic look. The trouble with most of these concepts is that they dont fully utilise the transparency of the display, unless you like to admire your wrist through the display.
Design submitted by Sam from Germany.
Sam says: In the design process for my FOCUS watch I sketched for a concept called ALIEN TATTOO that uses the same way of stacking numbers. Despite the issues, that a transparent screen might bring, I liked the idea of overlapping the wrist with a cool ornamental display. This is how AEON came to being.
Design submitted by Peter from the UK.
Peter says: This is “Digit Stacked MKIII” cryptic LED watch.
The original idea consisted of digits made up of LEDs, the digits were arranged one inside the other in a russian doll style. This allowed the quite regular digits to become cryptic, artistic and abstract.
