TIWE-d Watch

Posted on November 28, 2007 Under Design

You know we go ape for watches here at JoshSpear, and although I personally use my cell phone as a timepiece, I still love the novelty behind Lv Zhongfang’s TIWE-d watch and hope it’ll someday get out of concept stage. Zhongfang dreamed up a futuristic-looking watch that has constantly moving OLEDs that assemble "” as if called to order suddenly by a sergeant"” into the recognizable hands of a clock if the face is tapped or watch is shaken. The designer was inspired by Van Gogh’s Starry Night painting, which stuck with him since he first saw it as a kid. With this watch, I imagine brilliant friendships being made between strangers who ask each other for the time and incidentally find themselves with a great ice breaker.
