Tron-inspired LED Watch

Posted on by

Design submitted by Scott from UK.

This concept was voted as one of the most popular designs by fans on the blog and thanks to your votes has become reality and is now available to buy here exclusively at Tokyoflash Japan.

This watch design takes its inspiration from one of Scott’s favorite films as a kid, TRON, and from his Pimp Pimpin Ain’t Easy watch.  He wants something that will get noticed when it lights up and that’s why he came up with an electroluminescence strip around the whole watch strap.

The two rings (styled on a Tron Disc) represent minutes (outer) and hours (inner).  The break in the ring represents the time in a normal clock face layout.

The electroluminescence strip and LED watch face makes the whole watch light up and will definitely stand out from other watches.

  1. Superbe montre!!! Je la veux! Mais il faut qu’elle puisse changer de couleur à la demande. Mais c’est pas sûr que le bracelet soit lumineux. Aucune montre TokyoFlash n’a de bracelet lumineux. Mais j’adore cette idée!!

    • whatever man, this design went viral. It’s all over the place. I saw this on Gizmodo, and I’ve had the link open since. Stop hating. I’m sure these are all genuine comments.

    • I’m not a friend of the guy (though I sure would be if I had the opportunity), and I voted YES. I don’t care if the guy gets money or not, I jsut want to see the watch made. jON, Why would you post a comment like you did? Do you really not want to see this watch made (perhaps you think there are better designs) or are you really upset that this dude might actually win some money? Stop trolling with the accusations, and just give your opinion of the watch good or bad. If eneough people DON’T like the watch, then Tokyoflash won’t make it. If enough different people do like the watch (friends or not) and are willing to buy it, who cares whether he wins OR not? I just want to see this watch made, and comments like yours just don’t make any sense.

  33. Hey jON hater, if you don’t like the idea of this design being popular, feel free to browse away …
    As for my part, i don’t know the designer, and i think i would order one of each colour if the watch is produced …

    • I also agree with this kid’s comment, I don’t agree on his use of language but I think that since this watch has so many comments over 300 an insane amount more than the other 40 or so other watch designs combined is a little fishy.

  40. I hope TokyoFlash does read the messages, for I have a very important one. Might I suggest if this watch is considered to be in production, might I suggest to get the design out before Disney comes up with their own design…To reply to EVERYONE who has posted that the designer is reposting…while this may be true, his design has been posted several sites from people who could not be the design such as Gizmodo.com, Wired.com, tons of Tumblrs, retweets, and you can guarantee that it has been posted on facebook, blogging websites, digg, reddit and the list continues, keep that in mind before bashing someone

  42. Saw this watch on trendhunter.com today and man am I impressed. I’ve always had a fascination for watches and would buy this in a heartbeat if it was less than $200. I seriously want this watch, and I hope it gets produced!

    Having a 3rd ring for the seconds would be too much, but I do think this watch should have a very long-lasting rechargable battery. Could you imaging having to find a store that could replace the battery without damaging it? Mini USB had to be the most interesting suggestion I noted in the comments.

    I hope this watch is produced and I hope It’d be within a decent price range!!

  43. OK everyone, we are looking into making this design BUT if we make it it will take a minimum of 4 to 6 months to make. If something is being made from the blog, add about 6 months before you will see it, if the factories could do it faster then sooner, but we can only make it as fast as the factories can. Everyone wants it all, change colours, high quality, low price, USB recharge, On all the time, most of this is not possible without really sacrificing another point or the outlook. On all the time would last 4 hours max unless you had a battery pack on your belt. How about light up 5 seconds every minute? Then maybe 48 hours is OK. There is no way to get this out before the TRON release furthermore this design would not and could not be a “TRON” watch as we do not have the rights to use this name. The outlook in the renderings look plastic. Plastic would be the only viable solution. We could use a metallic paint on the plastic to give it a quality look. There are some nice plastics out there, and this design is really futuristic so plastic seems best. The strap needs to be adjustable as well so metal links would not work. Power needs to be supplied to the strap as well as the face so has to be one piece.

    Thank you very much for all your comments, and yes we are reading them all. Please give us a bit of time and you will be seeing some of these designs made into reality. Three top rated designs from the blog will be released within the next two months. We also will be releasing a few other plastic watches for the lower price range all under $100.00

    We promise to try our very best to make all the designs and requests that you ask for. We are listening.

    Sincerely,

    Tokyoflash Design Studio

    • I can live with all of this. On all the time isn’t necessary, as you said physics pretty much precludes it. And i’m sure we’re all happy to wait. It can’t be too hard to make it RGB multicolor, can it?

    • How about making the strap a bit thicker, and wider, that way you have more space for battery, and potential equipment/options… I wouldn’t mind a thick, broad watch 😉
      And plastic would be nice, very clean design, with the light from the watch going clean through. Don’t spray it with metallic paint, because after some time the paint with come off, and then it won’t look good… Just use dark plastic 🙂
      But again great work, thank you for making this dream come true 🙂

    • …and a quick comment, don’t use cheap material, I wouldn’t mind if the watch was over $100.00, or even close to $200.00, as long as the materials that has been used, are of high quality :D! Everything from the plastic to the battery and light inside the watch 😉

    • This is the best news i’ve heard in a while 😀 However, I don’t see how having metal links would be a problem in the design? To make the watch fit you simply remove the excess links? If the lighting on the strap would be the problem you could make the lights travel down maybe 3 links on each side (these links would need to be fixed and non-removable and since not even the smallest of wrists are 6 links around this would still allow for adjustment to fit) Its just an idea though, i’m personally a fan of metal.

      I definitely agree with foregoing the metallic paint unless the plastic underneath it colour matches quite closely to the overcoat. I would hate to see paint chips ruin a brilliant watch.

  45. Got sent this link and I have to say this watch is AMAZING. I might get a red AND a blue one just to fit my mood or outfit. I’d totally buy these and wear these in day to day. The look is great and the watch design is perfect. I haven’t worn a watch in about 7 years…but I’d get this one.

  46. If this watch also had a digital time reading that could be turned on or off it’d be perfect, either in the middle or below the rings. As much as I love the design, analog watches are pretty much useless to me, hard to read on the fly. But with both displays that problem is solved. I really hope this gets made. I’d buy it as long as it’s not too expensive of course. I’m a big TRON Legacy fan! 😀

    • Just to add on to my comment. I understand if the LEDs are off until you need the time to conserve energy. There can be two buttons. One when pushed lights up the watch and shows the time. I think it’d be neat if when you push this button the minute and hour rings revolve opposite of each other into position for added “show,” instead of just lighting up and showin the time right off hand (though there could be two settings, one with the revolutions and the other with quick time). The other button can be a stop watch mode with a minutes and seconds circle bar increasing appropriately from the top clockwise.
