Design submitted by Cory from the USA.
Cory says: “Ninjas attacked me as I was walking to work. I had only my wits to save me. As everyone knows, if there is a lone Ninja, he can fight off an entire army by himself, but if there is a large group of them, they drop like flies. This is the law of the Ninja, I’m not sure why that is, but there you have it. From this encounter came the notion of a watch made of Ninja tools.

Design submitted by Anders from Sweden.
Anders says: “Inspired by a few other sun-dial designs on this blog, I was hit with the idea to make an actual sun-dial watch, but substituting LEDs orbiting the watch face for the sun. Some sketching resulted in this design; Gnomon; two layered faces , a center gnomon and cleverly shuttered LEDs. Read the rest of this entry »

Design submitted by Laszlo from Hungary.
Laszlo says: “This is an analog watch, with electroluminescent backlighting (yellow or green). The light shining through on two screen-printed acryil dials indicates the time. The fixed hand is printed on the inside of the glass.
The time reading on this watch design is very simple. The dials move in a clockwise direction and the time is always shown in the window at the 12 o’clock position. Read the rest of this entry »

Design submitted by Paulo from Portugal.
Paulo says: “I like all kind of watches and I like to blend old with new, so when i saw the type of watches you make, i just put old numbers in the LEDs.
The design is very simple and you just have to know how to read Ancient Roman Numbers to be able to tell the time. This watch design would be great for anyone who likes old and new watches.
This design stands out as something different because although LEDs are usual in Tokyoflash watches, ancient numbers are not, i only see these in some analog watches.”

Design submitted by Jordan from Canada.
Jordan says: “Why are watches limited to button activation? Why can’t they be activated a different way? Just as I was wondering that, I walked by a slot machine, and Addiction was born.

Design submitted by Sam from Germany.

Design submitted by Anders from Sweden.
Anders says: “The idea of a watch that projects the time onto the wearer’s wrist, like some alarm clocks that show the time on the ceiling, is one that has floated around my head for a while now. I’ve wanted to do the concept justice, and have let it take it’s time. Read the rest of this entry »

Design submitted by Alberto from Puerto Rico.
Alberto says, this is a re-imagining of a previous design I submitted. Inspired by the imagery of the glowing circuitry found in many movies, video games and other popular sci-fi media. The main reason I decided to submit this watch design was because the original had a blank space in the center. This has been redesigned. The other reason was so it can be fully appreciated in a 3D rendering, thanks to the help of my two friends “Samuel Jerichow and Sheffer Laszlo”. I am extremely grateful for their assistance.

Design submitted by Cory from the USA.
Cory says: “I’m a big fan of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, and my favorite character was always the Cheshire Cat. I don’t much care for most of the depictions of the cat in popular culture, so I thought I would make my own. Most depictions of the cat are either too playful, or too sinister. I aimed to create a work of art that depicted the cat as mischievous, playful, and a tad sinister; one that is also a timepiece. Read the rest of this entry »
