Design submitted by Logan from the USA.

Logan describes his “Arctime” watch design as a “Dissection of the clock into 1-3, 4-6, 7-9, 10-12 arcs, fit compactly into a square.  Each arc has three segments not shared by other arcs, which are blue to indicate hours, yellow to indicate groups of 5 minutes, or green when an overlap is necessary to tell the time.  The four small segments where the arcs intersect indicate single minutes, and their color can always be chosen (blue, green, or yellow) to be different than the hour and 5-minute segments.”

Logan says: “A design inspired by nature. A hexagonal arrangement of circles with intersections defining segments (innermost segments slightly modified).  12 outermost segments indicate hours, 11 middle segments indicate 5-minute groups, 4 inner segments indicate single minutes.  1 middle segment free for alarm or AM/PM.”

Tokyoflash says: By using a repeated layout of circles the time has been easily divided into a unique time telling layout that looks both mesmerizing as well artistic. Note the segments line up perfectly to where the time would be found on a regular watch. I am sure after a day you would be able to blast off the time in a jiffy. The combination of blue, green and a touch of yellow also goes well in a black case design. This design would be ideal with digital tube LEDs which would create a really vivid look.

Design submitted by Heather Sable from the USA.

Heather says: “This is a unisex design for a wrist watch. It is called “Boxed In”. When the time is not displayed, the etched design is still pleasing to the eye. The button in the center will activate the time display through LEDs. The center design determines the hour. The boxes at the top and bottom determine the minutes.”

The concept designs we’re receiving are really creative! Heather’s concept is designed for guys and girls and uses simple lines and squares to show the time. The layout of the shapes on the screen are very cool – like a birds eye view of a pyramid perhaps. It looks as difficult to read as hieroglyphs but like most concepts here, when you know how and have had a bit of practice you can read the time instantly. Just take a look at the explanation below.

アメリカのHeather Sableさんの作品です。

以下はHeatherさんのコメントです。これは「Boxed In」という名前のユニセックスで使える腕時計のデザインコンセプトです。特徴的なパターンは、時刻表示をしていない時でも目を楽しませてくれます。時刻表示ボタンがインターフェイスの中心にレイアウトされているのも特徴です。中心付近にレイアウトされたボックスで時間を表示します。また、上部と下部にレイアウトされたボックスで分を表示します。

線と箱だけで構成されたシンプルなインターフェイスは男女問わず使用できます。インターフェイスのレイアウトはバードアイビューでピラミッドを見たようにクールです。それらは一見すると、象形文字のように読みづらそうですが、少し練習して慣れれば、簡単に読み解くことが出来るでしょう。詳しくは下図をご覧ください。
