CRAZY PEOPLE = INSANE WATCHES... RIGHT?

Okay. Watches are pretty much the stuff if you ask me. Especially the ones that don't even look or really even act as watches... I mean, who the heck came up with these things? Really? You thought "hey this would be a neat idea for a watch" and actually made it happen? YOU FREAKS! YOU'RE AWESOME!

Think I'm kidding about the insanity behind the design behind high tech watches? Then check this out:

This is "TIWE." TIWE is an OLED watch... the white round dots float around randomly, and when you want to know what's the time you can just shake it or tap the glass. 

How cool is that?

I would totally want this watch. Who doesn't want a watch that is constantly animated and obscure until you want to know the time? Its the future of ADD distraction!

The concept here is genius. The design is brilliant. Just look at it... it's original and fantastic, unlike anything we've ever seen before. It's a serious upgrade from the flashing LED background watches that premiered in the early 2000's.

And here we see the Samsung Proxima in all its glory. This crazy thing is a computer, GPS, and WiFi hot-spot all in one convenient watch disguise. The complexity behind this concept is almost impossible to put into words given this situation.

 ...You just take it off the watchband, download all you crap onto it, put it back on, and look like a cyborg genius with a totally sick watch... thing. Please just click on the image, I'm clearly doing a horrible job of describing this.

Meet the Jourmugand. The concept behind this watch is from Norse mythology. Jormungand is a serpent that is large enough to encircle the earth and hold onto his own tail. As the story goes, when he lets go of his own tail the earth will end. The story in itself is fantastic, but its application to the watch design is astounding.

 

The face looks like a pie chart with a small sliver cut away. This sliver emits a bright white light that can be seen in broad daylight.  As time passes, the face turns clockwise, with the illuminate sliver indicating the time. And it makes an efficient night light.

And last but not least, the Moon Watch... with the pun very much intended. The wearer could be completely oblivious to the outside world, but would always know what cycle and stage the moon is on.



The idea behind this is really interesting and creative, regardless of the fact that this is a very simple and expected idea. The designer here played their cards very well.
