Von Zios – Watch Converts Into a Table Clock by Siti Khatijah

Von Zios is a unisex watch that can be transformed into a table clock. Besides showing the time, Von Zios is also a companion to the user during their journey, in the office and also at home. Every unit is interconnected by a cylindrical tube to enable the watch to be flexible and thus able to be worn by the user. In order to make the watch stand, two units need to be snapped together. This will make the watch strap rigid and therefore it able to stand on its own.

Best Of Two Watch Worlds

Best Of Two Watch Worlds

Men are greedy and want only the best, so Designer Josh gives into their whims, by designing a classy Digital Analog Watch. The watchface hosts a modern digital display but still functions like a traditional analog watch. Details like date, day of the week, AM/PM are focused to the center. The AM/PM option switches to the seconds counter and a magnetic wrist band secures the watch around the wrist. Josh is all smiles coz his design has been picked by Cadence Watch Company and will go into production soon. Bravo!

Time to Watch this Line

Time to Watch this Line

A watch for keeping time is becoming less and less a part of society. With many of us now looking at our mobile phones for the correct network calibrated time, the watch industry has seen a massive decline in sales over the past decade. Wearing a watch in 2008 is becoming more of a utilitarian fashion accessory, than a way to count the hours.

You Can Not Escape Watch

You Can Not Escape Watch

Look at that face. That’s a face you cannot escape. Looks like of like a labyrinth doesn’t it? Actually it’s based more around the swinging of the Earth around the Sun, and the Moon around the Earth, and the bird flying around my head. GET OUTTA HERE YA BIRD! And it looks so nice! It’s got no numbers, no hands, but it’s got a time about it, doesn’t it? Look at it for a moment, and you’ll see quite easily how you’re gonna know where you are in this continuum. And decide you must, how to serve yourself best: black leather or steel mesh!

Button Up A Watch This Winter

Button Up A Watch This Winter

Its winter and just when your hands get warm and cozy in your gloves; you get this itch to see the time. In a normal situation you would just ask someone else for the time and ignore the watch on your wrist (under the gloves). But I’m not here to relate a normal situation! Allow me to introduce you to the idea of a Button watch. A teeny-tiny clip-on that clips to your jacket or bag and tells you the time on a need-to-know-basis. Click the face once and it displays the time and date on the glass face for a few seconds.

This Watch Around Wrist

This Watch Around Wrist

Here’s a watch which shows not only hours and minutes, but seconds (like any good watch should) and days and months as well. And not only that, this watch, called Orbit, changes color from transparent to black inverted depending on the time of day, and it works as a bedside clock when it’s off your wrist as well. Lookie! Gravitational sensor!

No Scratch Watch

No Scratch Watch

This cool concept watch by designer Allan George is basically aimed at the youth who like to wear trendy fashion, but maybe rough with it. Although latest scratch-proof glass materials are used in Omega, Rolex and ilk, but not all brands use this for their entire collection. And a watch with scratches on its glass looks so lame! Allan’s concept simple does away with the glass face and replaces it with a plastic-rubber finish. The colored hands peep out, behind a transparent rim, giving the watch a trendy and easy look!
