Ever Increasing Watch


It’s called the “Ever Increasing Watch” because it’s a display of three ever-rising graphs, the time shown in digits at the press of a button. Making it obvious for you that your life is aiming for that one spot, that one high point, the climax! — Or that the Earth is just moving closer to the sun.

It’s designed by none other than the fabulous crew at EleeNo.

Sensory Wristwatch


Developed by researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute the device monitors bio-indicators early on in an effort to prevent illness.

The watch will warn the wearer of issues such dehydration, a dangerously high body temperature, or high blood sugar levels in the case of a diabetic person. The lab-on-a-chip device will be customized depending on the wearer's needs.

At present this mechanism is still in the laboratory stage.

The E-Ink watch


This e-Ink watch shows time in either digital/analog combined or digital-only mode. While it works in the combined mode, an analog dial is shown at the top which represents the hour, whereas the minute is shown at the bottom. While it’s in digital mode, it’ll show numerical hour at the top and the minutes beneath.

Using the same electronic paper technology employed for modern eBooks, this is the watch creates the illusion of the time having been inked onto a piece of parchment. The electrophoretic display consists of millions of microcapsules (only the diameter of a human hair) containing particles suspended in a liquid medium.

When the microcapsules are positively and negatively charged, they either rise to the surface or fall to the bottom within liquid medium, making the display appear white or black at any given point for an easy-to-read, high-constrast display.

The time can be displayed with the numerical hour at the top of the display and the minutes beneath or as an analog dial on top with the minutes beneath (12-hour display only)–the display can also be reversed (white on black background). It is water-resistant down to 165′. The curved stainless steel case secures to a stainless steel band that accommodates wrists 9″ in circumference.
