Electric Blue

February 3rd, 2010

Like streams of water, the electric blue subsurface LEDs beneath diffuse light to create stunning overlapping lines of time.

The display is set into a polished stainless steel frame and the rubber strap is fed neatly beneath the chassis of the watch.

Sharp, sleek and ultra modern, the curve at the front stands out to make this design different.

Hours are displayed at the front so easy to see at a glance, groups of ten minutes 10-50 and single minutes at the back. Read the rest of this entry »

Centrifugal Force

February 3rd, 2010

The USB cable appears out of the top of this speaker design creating a very unusual appearance.  Plug into your Mac or PC and the sound will emanate from the holes around the bottom.

An equalizer on top in neon green will create an electrifying animation and the volume control is neatly situated above. The sleek, mirrored case gives a scientific, futuristic look. Read the rest of this entry »

This striking concept watch design is deceptively simple to read; three windows on the face separate units of time.

Twelve digits in the top screen indicate hours, the bottom screen indicates five minute groups and the uniquely shaped screen to the left indicates four single minutes. Read the rest of this entry »

Charting Time

February 3rd, 2010

On first glance, this design might look like a futuristic communication device or a tool for mapping your running distances.

Luckily, it’s a lot less complicated than that. The LED display uses blue bars in the center to indicate hours, cyan blocks around the edge indicate 5 minute groups and the green blocks on the right of the screen indicate single minutes 1-4.

The standard case is augmented with steel bars that extend across the face to protect the screen and match the mechanical image. Read the rest of this entry »

Space Face

February 3rd, 2010

Looking like a space craft docking bay, the case and strap of this design appear to be one solid block of metal.

Sections are cut out of the uniquely shaped face and within, LEDs are embedded to display the time in two single lines that move within the two segments of the face.

Hours and minutes are split between the two symmetrical sides of the case and the time is simple to read with number indicators on the lenses. Read the rest of this entry »

The Ripple Effect

February 3rd, 2010

A natural design with the appearance of a water droplet, this acrylic speaker has smooth curves that move from the center out to the four legs.

The speaker inside emits sound from beneath and the LED display in the center shows the frequency of sound in a ripple effect.

With a USB cable, this would be ideal for desktop use. Read the rest of this entry »

Tracking Time

February 3rd, 2010

Like something from the Caterpillar factory, the heavy steel frame of this design bends in beneath the interface to create the case and bends out again to form the strap.

The width of the frame protects the strong looking interface, which is set deep beneath the raised edges of the strap.

The LED display is like a rugged tire track, the maze of shapes illuminate to display units of time in three distinct groups.  Hours, groups of 10 minutes and single minutes move in the same direction. Read the rest of this entry »

Green Lines

February 3rd, 2010

One thin panel of stainless steel makes up the body of this design. The case is curved on both ends and connected to a contrasting rubber strap.

The interface features sharp green lines, angled in places to achieve a fit with the angled case.

Hours are displayed in the top third of the screen, groups of ten minutes in the bottom third and single minutes in the center. Read the rest of this entry »

Cool & Calculating

February 3rd, 2010

Like a metallic ribbon, the frame that weaves around the case is a single piece of metal in a sweeping single motion.

A retro calculator-like interface displays the time in three segments, hours at the top, groups of ten minutes at the bottom and single minutes in the center.

The smoked acrylic lens covering the case and bending across to make one side of the case gives a clean modern effect, the polished stainless steel case maintains the clean sleek appearance. Read the rest of this entry »
