But in the middle and left watch, the dials are actually the opposite.

But in the middle and left watch, the dials are actually the opposite.

I can’t see how to read the watch. The first one seems accurate… But I would read something like ’08:14 / 20:14′ on the second one and ’10:20 / 22:20′ on the third one

What’s the code?

It basically shows how dumb this design is. It looks pretty and unsual, but what’s the point if it doesn’t actually do what it’s supposed to do i.e. reliably display the time.

If there’s confusion about the time being displayed, I’d say the watch is useless.

I agree with you Bob, I think the middle one is showing something like 08:13 and the right hand one is showing about 10:20.

For a watch do do its job properly, you should look at it and pretty quickly know what the time is.

Form FOLLOWS function not the other way around,

First thought – wow

Secont thought – how UTTERLY useless and NOT designed. Don’t call it a watch.

WOW, THIS IS AN AWSOME DESIGN. I like watches that are a conversation piece and this one fits the bill. I want one!

the render doesn’t impress me. where are the details?

One of the design principles that ever industrial designer should apply before releasing any design into the wild is to ask himself/herself this:

“Does it do the job it’s for?”

Since so many people cant tell the time on these watches, you’d have to say the answer’s NO.

Whether it’s pretty or clean or cluttered or a talking point is totally beside the point – it doesn’t do the job it’s for, because when you look at it you have to stare at it for ages, mentally add in the little check marks and count around the face to figure out what the time is.

Having said that, they are beautiful, but no more useful than a lady’s bangle.

As best as I can tell from the explained times and the callouts to hours and minutes, I think the labels for the hour and minute “hands” have been flip-flopped. Reading hours as minutes and minutes as hours, they match up to the three given times.

the watch looks cool. i’m hoping that the times in the jpegs are just wrong.

the second two watches are upside down. thats why it seems the time is incorrect.

lol! Funny how u kind of presist on rebel against such a simple thing as naming things for what they are We need more people like u
but have u ever considered that the title is named based on what there’s in the article that makes it interesting? wouldn’t ‘lock your time’, ‘perfect moment’ or ‘your moment in time’ be a more correct title? on the otherhand u weren’t going for corrrect or perfect but for YOUR title… I like it! and the watches are cool! but u would have to look twice not to get it wrong (wich i normally do anyway)

Great article, well written.

its interesting. but somehow the time shown is mixed up. interesting concept, though not strong enough

You guys always have a lot of interesting things! and this is really smart (:
