This is an updated take on an old submission of mine: Sliderule (hence the name; like sliderule, only more so). It’s been rattling about in my brain for ages, and I just recently found the energy to finish it.

Vexel : a futuristic wrap-around watch
Design submitted by Matt from the USA.
The inspiration for this design comes from the idea of having a simple futuristic watch that isn’t overly complicated.
It isn’t too difficult to read, but it can be a bit confusing.
Wheels watch with automotive theme
Design submitted by Clark from Belgium.
Clark says: The design of the watch is based on the wheels of my own car.
The strap is from rubber and it represents the tires of a car. The strap also has the grooves that simulate the real tires of a car. I think this design should attract car lovers and sportive people.
“Hybrid 3” analogue watch cleverly appears to be digital
Design submitted by Peter from the UK.
Peter says: This is “Hybrid 3” a redesign of a re-design of “Hybrid” which featured on the blog back in March 2012.
Shock absorber ‘Kisai-528’ watch is motorcycle inspired. (update)
Design submitted by Peter from the UK.
Peter says: I could go into a long winded story about my interests in all things car and motorbike related but by now you have all guessed that I am a petrol head. So I decided to do yet another motorcyle inspired design because it floated my boat 🙂
One of the things I like about motorcyles is the fact that a lot of the components are visible and they have a very pruposeful engineered look. I wanted to transmit that ethos into a watch deisgn.
Xtal Smart hides its true power below a sleek black surface.
Design submitted by Sam from Germany.
Sam says: This is the smart edition of my Xtal concept. People who saw it in the Design Studio Blog like the futuristic look, a combination of the simple shape and the cryptic numbers. Adding some smartness could make a good product.
3Delix futuristic watch uses a helix to gauge time
Design submitted by Peter from the UK.
Peter says: This is 3Delix an evolution of an older design called “Swirl”
Swirl worked by using spiral shaped hands connected to an analogue movement which converted radial movement to linia movement. Allowing the time to be display in a column like window. 3Delix takes this concept into the third dimension.
Swirl II re-invents the analogue watch
Design submitted by Peter from the UK.
Peter says: I was making a working clock of my original SWIRL watch concept as a little project and realised that the concept could be made easier to read by dividing the time telling into two or three displays rather than the single one on the original version, SWIRL II was born.
Discreet & minimal watch with natural materials
Design submitted by Jacques from The Netherlands.
Jacques says: In a quest for a minimalistic watch I excluded all time reading functionality from the front of the watch and placed it on the side.
It’s actually just a very minimalistic watch on where the time can be read on the side. The dot light represents the hour hand and the ring light the minute hand. The time can be read rather easy but this of course also depends on the hour of the day.
The time reading functionality on the side leaving the front blank, creates a surprising effect, compared to the many watches that have frontal displays with numerous clocks and pointers etc.
Time-Card is your futuristic pocket watch.
Design submitted by Peter from the UK.
Peter says: Being a fan of watches its hard to believe that there are people out there that dont like them.
Some of these people are also not keen on mobile phones let alone having to look at their phones to tell the time. So it seems there is a niche for a time telling device that is neither a phone or watch but is compact to be carried on one person.
Most people carrier a wallet or purse as debit cards and credit cards are a necessary evil of modern living so I decided to come up with a credit card sized clock that is compact enough to fit into a wallet or pocket or could be worn on ones person. The creativly named “Time-Card” was born.
