Twist Watch uses clever rotation to turn on.

Posted on by

Design submitted by Patrick from France.

Patrick says: When I want to eat chocolate that is sandwiched between two cookie, I unscrewed for access (style “Choco BN” in France).

The watch case is a hexagon, cut in half in its thickness.

When you unscrew the top to 30 ° in the direction of clockwise, the hexagon (6 sides) has turned into dodecagon (12 sides), this action activates the LEDs of hours (the peaks of dodecagon) and minutes, sticks arranged in a circle on the case, after a quick animation of all the LEDs, to stop on the exact time.

It is thus a Watch with an analog reading.

This watch is aimed primarily at teenager and “Sweet Lolitas”, “Fruit Lolitas” …,

It’s a fun watch, easy to read, with several versions of bracelets, dyed leather, polyurethane, drawings: “flowers, leopard skin, zebra, snake, etc..” with metal housing, or various plastics, in colors “flashy” (bright neon pink, blue, gold, silver etc.).

To my knowledge, I have never seen this way to activate the LED, by unscrewing (small rotation to 30 °) the case of a watch?

  1. I like the principle and the twist to activate/put into time mode. The concept is very fresh and unique. The styling and colours are not to my taste but as you mention I am not your target audience. Its a nice concept which with a little TF magic could be a winner! 5 stars and Yes of course! 🙂

  3. It’s really important to know, that you are addressing the young crazies 😀 Brave approach! If I see beyond the elements that don’t suit me 100%, I see a very very cool concept idea! The twisting action it cool! Making the analog inspired display appear in the resulting dodecagon is so simple but effective. I support the idea without any doubt and I agree with Peter: if TF touches it, it could be a winner and maybe something for my age. Now you need some teens to come by to tell what they think. Anyway, good luck!!

    • Yes Sam, looking mainly young japanese teens, I noticed a lot of bright colors and very bright, with a hidden reading time when the watch is closed and the side “baroque” of this project, did I think that could interest them?

  5. I also like the twist idea, the overall design isn’t my cup of tea but I’m sure the color scheme would fit the target audience you mentioned.

    • Avatara, thank you for your opinion.
      It’s a watch unpretentious, a little funny to show with friends in a schoolyard.

  7. I wanted to thank Tokyoflash who was kind enough to publish the project, which was stuck in the pipeline for some months, because of reading your comments is very important for me, for other project to come.

  10. Salut Patrick,
    I didn’t comment that concept because it doesn’t appeal to me personally, but I realize it suits teenagers very well. The flashy colors, the shape, the activation system… A kind of Swatch with a Tokyoflash twist !
    I’m just afraid the minute LEDs are too numerous/precise to be makable. But there is definitely something to do with it, a teenager TF watch is a good concept that could sell out fast.

  11. I can understand the aesthetic not appealing to everyone (colours etc), but the concept here is a very good one! with a little tweaking from TF could be epic! So with that in mind I think 2.6 is a very low score. The concept is worth more than this, I think people need to be able to see past the visuals at the potential of the concept!
    Best of luck Patrick!

    • Yes Pete, this concept is not developed at all, for my 3D rowed on my old computer, then I changed it and it’s a bomb, now for me to imagine good concepts.

      • There is nothing wrong with the concept, for me if this was more metallic and engineered looking it could be sweet! If your anything like me there are plenty more weird and wonderful ideas to play with too. Best of luck with your next concept! 🙂
