The X- Watch by Damian Kozlik is a sexy X shaped L.E.D. timepiece that is designed for both sighted and blind people.
Blind people can use the X-Watch by moving their fingers along the graduated watch glass which features extruded braille numbers. When a highlighted panel is touched, a sound is heard.
The watch dial is compounded of LEDs under which the IC board is placed. According to Kozlik, “Every segment of the watch glass works like separated touch switch.â€
