(English) Design submitted by Peter from the UK.
Peter says: I have allways been interested in sci-fi films and wanted to design an unusual alien looking watch. I didn’t have a specific image in mind but the watch evolved into something that resembles a cross between the “Tripods” of “the war of the world” films, the little spacecraft/aliens from “batteries not included” and a mechanised turret.

(English) Design submitted by Heather (USA) & Sam (Germany).
At least since the 20th century, many artists and architects have proportioned their works to approximate the golden ratio (phi φ) — especially in the form of the golden rectangle — believing this proportion to be aesthetically pleasing.

(English) Design submitted by Dietrich from Australia.
Dietrich says: This idea was inspired by my inaccurate memory of a 1980s video game called Qix, and also by sun-dials. I originally had two watch ideas – one for the outer triangles and for an inner triangle, so I merged the two. Read the rest of this entry »

(English) Design submitted by Sam from Germany.
Sam says: My inspiration for this watch is the wireframe based visualisation of 3D models in the computer. Automan’s car impressed me back then in the 80′s, when computer graphics became more and more popular. I wanted a similar looking minimalistic watch with emphasized edges which define its outline and necessary details.

(English) Design submitted by Miguel from the USA.

(English) Design submitted by Erik from Colombia.
Erik says: I was trying to find a way to tell the time that is fast and easy. I thought the best way was to give hours a “cake”shape, form so anyone could just see it and know what is the time. With regards to the minutes I prefer ten minutes division at the bottom of the watch.

(English) Design submitted by Sam from Germany.
Sam says: The inspiration for this watch comes from the multiverse hypothesis. It says, that there are parallel universes that represent alternative timelines. So everytime a decision has to be made, there are many options, many possibilities of how your path continues. One decision can lead to many ways as well as many ways can conclude into one decision. This relationship can be shown with parallel graphs that sometimes have connections. Read the rest of this entry »

(English) Design submitted by Dietrich from Australia.
“Cyclops” is a revamp of a previous design submission – the new design uses a square interface instead of a round one. Dietrich says: The original idea came to me when I was looking at designs on the Tokyoflash website and thinking that many of them are based on “codes” of some sort. Then I hit upon the idea of colour codes.
