(English) 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.
(English) 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.
(English) Design submitted by Heather from the USA.
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.
(English) 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.
(English) 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.
(English) 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.
(English) 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.
(English) 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.
(English) 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.
(English) 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.
(English) 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.
(English) Design submitted by Patrick from France.
Patrick says: I stumbled upon a project that I submitted in September 2010 and the second version also proposed end of September 2010, but never published because certainly it was not formatted for the blog? (I of course adapted the format, with the technical constraints of Blog)
(English) Design submitted by Czarina from the USA.
Czarina says: I was actually in the middle of researching Kisai’s product line for a school project when I learned that some of the watches were made by fans. Inspired, I started coming up with my own space themed designs, until I finally decided that “Orion” best represented my personal style.
(English) Design submitted by Sam from Germany.
Sam says: I had once the idea of an analog-like watch that shows the time by a single line. One Line II is another approach to this idea.
(English) Design submitted by Peter from the UK.
Peter says: A lot of watches have a bezel, some have it for practical reasons like for measuring a set period of time. Most however are just a styling element. The nice thing with most is that they often add a little detail and a tactile quality. I decided to use the bezel as the time telling feature of this design.
