Design submitted by Devindh from the UK.
Devindh says: “When I was a child I owned an LCD digital watch that had its screen accidentally cracked. I remember being saddened to see the entire face blacked out by Liquid Crystal. This design takes that incident and uses it as the inspiration for a Hybrid Analog/LCD wrist watch.
The concept for this watch design is simple. The analog element of the watch consists of a central ‘dish’ that shows the hour markers. The mechanism for the hour hand is beneath the surface giving it a floating appearance.
The rest of the face is an ‘edge-to-edge’ LCD display indicating seconds. At the beginning of the hour the watch appears as a uniform colour. As the time ticks away the screen becomes gradually filled with black Liquid crystal and the second markers are revealed.
This watch design is for fun loving, fashion conscious people. My idea is that buyers choose a custom colour online and then have the watch made to order so it matches the trends of the season.
My watch design is distinct from many of the other designs because it attempts to address the analog and LCD criteria specified by the Tokyoflash design studio.”
