If you've ever flown from Europe to Asia with multiple stops in between, you would definitely appreciate this watch designed by Jacky Wu, Neo Chen & Eric Liu. Ticketime is a boarding pass as well as a wristwatch given out by the airline for use during the journey.
The fringe of the ticket is made of electronic paper that can be torn off and strapped to your wrist like a watch at time of boarding. The airline presets the watch to the destination timezone and you get to continue to wear it until you board your return flight. Upon check in for the flight back, the watch must be returned to the airline.
I can picture a long line of people missing their flight, not because they didn't make it to the airport in time, but because they want to keep this great looking watch!
