Design submitted by Peter from the UK.
Peter says: Ever since I started submitting designs for the blog I have been trying to think of a nice design based on Armour, Exoskeletons, and Mecha. This design is inspired by those things to achieve an bio-mechanical look. I wanted an industrial feel with a technical detailed look. “Vertebrae” is the result. This one probably isn’t for the ladies.
Design submitted by Peter from the UK.
Peter says: This design is inspired by a combination of sci-fi and the natural world. I wanted to come up with a design that has a simple clutter free bio-mechanical look with a retro feel that could be worn as a piece of jewellery that happens to also tell the time. “Tentacle” was the result which looks like a cross between an arm from a “War of the worlds” tripod and a crustacean.

Patrick says: I was influenced, inter alia, by the watch of Sam “Echo” which I find really beautiful.
Design submitted by Heather from the USA.
Heather says: My brother actually came up with the idea for a watch called PART TIME, and originally designed the digits for it. I submitted these digits back then, but did not have a good presentation for it, so it never showed up on the blog. Now that my 3D skills have improved, I decided it is time for me to resubmit.
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.
Design submitted by Peter from the UK.
Peter says: I have submitted a few analogue designs in the past and most were perhaps a little too imaginative. They tended to be technically un-feasible and required expensive bespoke mechanisms to allow them to work. For this concept I decided to go back to basics and use a traditional disc style analogue time telling using similar construction to “Uzumaki”

Peter says: This is “Max6Zero” after a robot from the film “The black hole”
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.
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.
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.
