Matt says: By using the Mayan numeral system, for another project, I had the idea to integrate it into something I use daily.

Design submitted by Leonard from Malaysia.
Leonard says: Recently I study about emoticons of digital display. It remains me of tamagotchi, a digital pet in 90’s. When i look at how the tamagotchi’s pet face expression, it give me an idea on designing this watches – Watchme.
Design submitted by Heather from the USA.
Heather says : I was looking at a digital clock whose traditional 7-segment digits were mostly trapezoidal, with a visible gap between the segments. I thought, “Why do the segments need to be trapezoids?” I sketched some digit layouts using various arrangements of seven polygon segments with pronounced spaces between them, until I came up with the CRAX digits.

Design submitted by Sam from Germany.
Sam says: This concept began experimentally with sketching for hexagon based numbers. After a while, the numbers developed into these round ones, that consist of six circle segments and a center dot. I played with the number layout and soon everything reminded me of some sci-fi technology.
I continued with this theme and so SuujiMaru was born. Continue reading
Design submitted by Sam from Germany.
Sam says: There is this quote: “Time is a predator that stalks us all of our lives.” It made me think if that’s true. Actually with all the things we do, time is running away, getting eaten up by activity. Not we are the prey, time is. I made this concept of a watch, that looks like biting time. Continue reading
Design submitted by Sylvie from Canada.
Sylvie says : I wanted to go outside the box by avoiding symmetry. I wanted to do something modern and ‘chic’.
There is 12 facets, one for each hour of the day. Each intersection of the facets (the larger parts indicates the hours and the intersections of the inner ‘circle’ indicate 5 min each. Continue reading
Design submitted by Sam from Germany.
Sam Says: I was experimenting with hexagon based numbers that are derived from the classic 7-segment-digits everybody knows. There were many ways to do it and one of them strongly resembled the radioactive sign. I played around with the time display and saw, displaying all four numbers next to each other doesn’t look good and would take the iconic expression away from them. So I decided to use a phased display like the Denshoku, displaying one number at a time. That way, each number comes into it’s own.
Design submitted by Peter (UK) & Sam (Germany)
Peter & Sam say: The initial idea for Camalien was a watch that changes its colour with the mood of the wearer. But mood is an abstract thing that could be dozens of measurable things in reality. We kept the colour changing aspect and gave the watch a camera.
The display of Camalien reacts to the environment like a chameleon. Continue reading
Design submitted by Firdaus from Malaysia.
Firdaus says: Came up with this idea after reading some articles about photon light, then I remembered EL wire, browsed the internet, watched Youtube videos, read about them and I have a good display for a watch with “photon light” theme.
Design submitted by Ron from the Netherlands.
Ron says: I wanted a cool bracelet which at first doesn’t look like a watch. It should off course also be a watch, but if you see the bracelet nothing would make it look like a watch. So no circular shapes and no watch-like band. Continue reading
