Superior Watch : Decode to Read The Time

TheFuture — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 08:43:16 +0000

Getting bored with the traditional watch ? Perhaps “Superior”, ultramodern minimalist watch can brighten your day. Superior watch is a conceptual custom made watch to fit its owner arm. This watch tells time by decoding the two rows of flush cut diamonds. The top row is for the hours and the bottom row is for the minuets. To find the hour, multiply all the unlit diamonds that come before the lit one’s by two and then you add that number to the lit ones. Superior is made from tungsten carbide with either a polished finish or a polished titanium carbide coating over the tungsten carbide, that is why it’s called “The Superior”. This watch is impractical to some people, but probably cool watch for geeks.

TheFuture — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 03:26:52 +0000

A luxury watch from Zenith, defy xtreme watch features a multi-layered see-through structure composed of shock-resistant transparent Hesalite glass, Carbon fiber layer and varnished dial plate. Black titanium case and bracelet with Kevlar inserts, high-temperature resistance and a position sensitive gyroscope cage Tourbillon designed to enhance accuracy. The striking design’s gyroscope cage tourbillon and constant horizontal escapement is a feature which means the mechanism avoids the effects of gravity.

According to Zenith this is a ” a major innovation in the world of watchmaking” providing “considerably greater accuracy”. Reducing the effects of gravity was certainly a critical factor in 1795 when the tourbillon was invented and mechanical pocket watches (prone to inaccuracy because of gravity) were all the rage. We’re not 100% sure of its impact on modern watch design, but it undoubtedly bestows a level of prestig

Exploring many possibilities of sustainable design, P-Per made only from 4 layers, and one of them is an e-paper screen (which is chocolate agency famous product) which warps the entire phone. Made out entirely of sustainable materials, this futuristic mobile phone is using extruded polycarbonate to cope with its physical functions, hypoallergenic and recyclable titanium parts, and environmental friendly organic battery which is free from heavy metals.

People are comparing P-Per mobile phone concept to iPhone, well, I think iPhone is still the winner here, since iPhone is real and P-Per is still a concept.
