I won a Watchcelona Design Award back in 2005 for a watch with exactly the same functional concept. You can take a look in my coroflot portfolio. Nice Design.

His current braille watch has four markings, one for each quarter hour. He does indeed read, by the way. My husband, who is blind, would love this watch.

blind people could’nt read something ?

But I know you meant, how would they be able to tell the time? They use the three nubs with the one placed on the outer most ring as a guide. The middle one for the minutes, and the inner most nub for the hour. It's prtty smart. My suggestion though would be to make it so that there was a nub at every 3 hour point on the outer most ring and make the 12 o'clock nub feel different for the rest to more acurately read the time and maybe even help read the time faster I would assume. I don't know though, but it's a great concept. First time I've seen it, thats for sure :P I love this sight :) LOL
