Design submitted by Heather from the USA.
Heather says: My brother actually came up with the idea for a watch called PART TIME, and originally designed the digits for it. I submitted these digits back then, but did not have a good presentation for it, so it never showed up on the blog. Now that my 3D skills have improved, I decided it is time for me to resubmit.
Design submitted by Peter from the UK.
Peter says: This is “Discus LCD”, an LCD version of my analogue “Discus” design. The styling is influenced by retro sci-fi as well as more modern sci-fi films.
Design submitted by Lloyd from Australia.
Lloyd says: Ikimono is an unusual yet loveable LCD concept watch design that uses cute-looking creatures to display the time and date. Ikimono is the Japanese word for “creatures”.
Design submitted by Firdaus from Malaysia.
Firdaus says: An analog watch design with hexagon in mind, Rokkaku is inspired by honeycomb.
Design submitted by Sam from Germany.
Sam says: When working on inside-out-displays I thought, what about letting the number segments themselves be interlaced? For IOD I chose a single classical 7-segment digit and gave it the dense information of three digits.
Design submitted by Peter from the UK.
Peter says: This is Discus, a back-to-basics disc style analogue watch. The styling is influenced by retro sci-fi as well as more modern sci-fi films. I wanted to design a disc analogue watch that was in theory easy to make but still looked exciting.

Heather says: I thought of the digits for this design while driving. The lights on the back of the car in front of me formed a curve, and I based the digits on similar curved shapes.
Design submitted by Heather from the USA.
Heather says: In an attempt to “change the way I think about time”, I pondered ways of telling time that could be different. In doing so, I thought about an hourglass, which led to the creation of rounded digits that could appear to fill an hourglass.
Design submitted by Clarence-Junius from the USA.
Clarence-Junius says: As an artist I use the color wheel a lot which inspired me to use that as a theme for this design. The vivid hues of a color wheel would look great as a time piece.
Design submitted by Sam from Germany.
Sam says: I thought about splitting up the information of an analog display up into several ring segments. The result is the Cassini.
Design submitted by Mark from New Zealand.
Mark says: Medieval times being one of my interests, I started a chainmaille project which led me to start replicating different chainmaille weaves in blender for fun. In doing so I messed about with trying to come up with digits and 4-1 came into being.
Design submitted by Lloyd from Australia.
Lloyd says: I thought it would be kind of cool to use a bonsai tree for a watch display and this LCD concept watch design called “Bonsai” is the result.
Design submitted by Matt from Canada.
Matt says: I love retrograde, & bi-retrograde, watches for their time-telling clarity. So I made a few sketches & convert one of them into an LCD watch.
Design submitted by Heather from the USA.
Heather says: My brother thought up the phrase “SPLIT SECOND”, and this concept was born. I thought, maybe I can make a display that is mostly seconds, but split them in half so there is constant movement on a large portion of the display. Then I made the hours and minutes smaller and squeezed them in between the top and bottom of the seconds.
Design submitted by Anders from Sweden.
Anders says: Sketching display layouts, I hit upon the idea of dividing an LED display by running wires above it. After refining the idea I had this; Cage. The display comprises 5 rows of 9 LED segments, telling time in the good old 12-5-9 format.
