‘Ex-Time' Displays Time Anywhere So You Can Feel Like Bond

— January 27, 2009 — Fashion
Telling time is no great joy, but you may soon be able to jazz it up a bit with the new Ex-Time watch. The futuristic timepiece displays time to the second, as well as showing the current date, but it stands out for its advanced projecting capabilities.

Resembling a cool Bond watch, it can create a nice time tattoo on your wrist, or launch a mini show on a nearby surface, and it can also shoot time out into the dark. Its slick bracelet design comes straight out of sci-fi movies – although there is an unpleasant association with hospital wrist bands.

The novel idea belongs to designer Rong Yong, but unfortunately it is still a prototype; we will definitely be looking out for its debut in the market.
Trend Themes
1. Projector Wearables - Incorporating projection technology into wearable devices can provide innovative display options for users and open up new potential markets.
2. Advanced Timepiece Functionality - Expanding the functionality of traditional watches beyond simple timekeeping can create unique selling points for consumers and offer increased value.
3. Futuristic Jewelry Design - Incorporating sci-fi inspired design elements into traditional jewelry pieces can attract consumers seeking unique and fashion-forward accessories.
Industry Implications
1. Wearable Technology - The incorporation of projection technology into wearable devices offers a new direction for the wearable technology industry to explore and expands the potential for advanced functionality.
2. Fashion and Accessories - Futuristic jewelry designs like the Ex-Time watch can attract consumers seeking unique and adventurous fashion accessories, creating a potential market for designers and retailers.
3. Consumer Electronics - Advanced timepiece functionality and projection technology could be disruptive innovations for the consumer electronics industry, offering new solutions for personal and professional users.
