Mod Beading Chronometers

The Quicksilver LCD Watch Emulates the Effect of Separating Mercury Drops

— December 20, 2013 — Fashion
Many of us have grown up with an understanding for how to tell time on an analog device, but this doesn't mean that at timepiece cannot be understood when a few of the features have been changed. The Quicksilver LCD watch does not have the familiar hour and minute hands that rotate around the dial; instead, it has a cluster of dots that bead about the face.

The movement of the liquid mercury-inspired circles corresponds to the recognizable 1 to 12 positions on a conventional clock. With Samuel Jerichow's design for Tokyoflash, the minute bubbles orbit around the inner disc and the hour droplets revole around the outer ring. The Quicksilver LCD wristwatch incorporates at least two dots per bunch, assisting in indicating the AM, PM and five-minute increments on either side.
Trend Themes
1. Digital Time-telling - The Quicksilver LCD watch challenges traditional analog timepieces by using digital dots to indicate the time.
2. Mercury-inspired Design - The liquid mercury-inspired movement of the dots on the Quicksilver LCD watch creates a visually unique and captivating time display.
3. Alternative Time Indicators - The beading dots on the Quicksilver LCD watch offer a new and different way to read and interpret time.
Industry Implications
1. Watchmaking - The Quicksilver LCD watch introduces innovative design and time-telling techniques that could disrupt the traditional watchmaking industry.
2. Fashion Accessories - The distinctive mercury-inspired design of the Quicksilver LCD watch could disrupt the fashion accessories industry by offering a unique and stylish timepiece option.
3. Electronics - The digital technology and liquid mercury-inspired movement of the Quicksilver LCD watch present potential disruptive innovation opportunities in the electronics industry.
