Design submitted by Heather from the USA.
Heather says: My brother thought up the phrase “SPLIT SECOND”, and this concept was born. I thought, maybe I can make a display that is mostly seconds, but split them in half so there is constant movement on a large portion of the display. Then I made the hours and minutes smaller and squeezed them in between the top and bottom of the seconds.
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.
Design submitted by Firdaus from Malaysia.
Firdaus says: GAMERZ watch design is inspired by gaming rigs; those gaming PC case, gaming notebook, gaming mouse & keyboard etc. It is a combination of LCD and LED time telling in a watch. On idle (LCD) mode, user can tell the time without pressing a button as the time is always on. This is very useful when on driving or during outdoor under direct sunlight. Indoor and during night time, the hybrid (LCD+LED) mode will make the watch more appealing to enjoy.

Czarina says: I was actually in the middle of researching Kisai’s product line for a school project when I learned that some of the watches were made by fans. Inspired, I started coming up with my own space themed designs, until I finally decided that “Orion” best represented my personal style.
Design submitted by Sam from Germany.
Sam says: I had once the idea of an analog-like watch that shows the time by a single line. One Line II is another approach to this idea.
Design submitted by Peter from the UK.
Peter says: A lot of watches have a bezel, some have it for practical reasons like for measuring a set period of time. Most however are just a styling element. The nice thing with most is that they often add a little detail and a tactile quality. I decided to use the bezel as the time telling feature of this design.
Design submitted by Clement from Singapore.
Clement says: I was thinking that watches nowadays are looking so sleek and machined. Not that this is bad, but somehow they just lack the human touch.
My design is based off a woven friendship bracelet.
Design submitted by Dimitar & Nikolay from Bulgaria.
Dimitar & Nikolay say: I was interested lately in ancient civilisations and their architecture, science, calendars, graphic system. So I thought it would be nice to have a face watch that resembles of an ancient calendar or number system because they always have their own continuity and circles like some kind of a reminder that life never ends.
Design submitted by Sam from Germany.
Sam says: The display of sector is inspired by the popular pie charts that are used to display statistical information in mass media. I think those charts don’t only have a scientific value but also an artistic one.
Design submitted by Heather form the USA.
Heather says: ZAG was inspired by Firdaus’ V watch concept. I started with a similar V, but turned it on its side, gave it an overlap, and decided that 4 separate digits in this format would look really cool on a bracelet style watch.
