Design submitted by Andy from the Ukraine.
Andy says: I decided to realise a watch concept based on the ancient greek myth of the minotaur and the labyrinth. I used 6 cross-sectioned rectangles to display time.

Skyline LED watch impossibly tunnels through your wrist (update)
Design submitted by Anders from Sweden.
Anders says: I was on the tram about six months ago when I caught sight of a concrete buttress of some sort, which was shaped like a number of intersecting blocks. It was an interesting shape that I thought might make an interesting watch face, so I sketched out a few ideas. None of them worked, however, but I kept coming back to it.
Quarterback watch simulates the gridiron
Design submitted by Laszlo from Hungary & William from Norway.
Grid watch generates a triangular mesh of time.
Design submitted by Justin from the UK.
Justin says: As usual I doodle the numbers first, then simply mould the rest of the watch around them. I always set out with a specific technology in mind, E-paper, LCD, analogue…
This time I chose LED…I created…GRID!
Sandwatch is never the same twice.
Design submitted by Chingiz from Kyrgyzstan.
Chingiz says: I sat by the river and thought why modern watches don’t tell the true time. Because all known classic and digital watches repeat everyday. But we consume our lives/time/ like water, fuel or cigarettes and we must see it being exhausted constantly.
Oscilloscope watch tells time with waves.
Design submitted by Rodrigo from Portugal.
Rodrigo says: Im a Electronic Engineer,and i came up with this idea after using an digital oscilloscope.
You can tell the time by tracking the evolution of the wave signals and combining the 3 waves you can tell the time.
The people I see using my design, are all those who love sci-fi and technology.
It is easy to see the time, and its simplicity will pull the imagination of each of us.
Coordination watch plots your position in time.
Design submitted by Tom from Norway.
Tom says: I am currently at the second year of a Bachelordegree in Mediadesign. This idea came to me during a schoolproject in a class named “Informationdesign”, where we had to choose amongst different kind of topics in a mandatory exercise (we had to pass in order to get to take the exams). I chose one where we was supposed to make a new watchdial to tell time. I passed, but since the design had no other purpose that to show my teacher I thought it would be great to enter this contest with it.
Digitalis LCD watch for the cryptographer
Design submitted by Lloyd from Australia.
Lloyd says: “Digitalis” is an LCD concept watch design with 2 very different cryptic modes that display the time and date in a way that is both enigmatic yet easy to understand.
Quattro binary style watch tracks the moon phases.
Design submitted by Wilhelm from South Africa.
Wilhelm says: Quattro 2.0 – This is a revamp of my first Quattro design on which the One-6 concept was based. The idea started as a new concept LCD using a “new” “binary” idea, but I realised this can be a pure LCD, a LED or a LCD with a patterned template over the LCD.
Equilibrium watch: You’ve heard of Binary, now try Ternary!
Design submitted by Robert from Hungary.
Robert says: I wanted to buy a ternary LED watch. But I couldn’t. So I created one, this is THE EQUILIBRIUM ternary watch.
