The Free Time Watch Will Have You Going in Circles

— March 24, 2010 — Fashion
We really get it too easy when it comes to time. All we have to do is look down at our arm to know the precise hour and minute of the day. There's no challenge to it at all. The creative team known as Projects Design believes we should start working to get our time, as evident with creation of the 'Free Time Watch.'

At first glance you may believe the Free Time Watch has no useful applications other than looking nice with that new sweater of yours, however, on closer inspection you'll realized it actually does what it was designed to do.

Made up of three concentric circles (the outer being hours, the middle being minutes and the inner being seconds), the Free Time Watch actually does give a clear indication of the when.
Trend Themes
1. Circular Time Display - This trend involves the use of concentric circles to display time, offering a unique and visually appealing way to tell the time.
2. Interactive Timepieces - This trend involves creating watches that require the user to actively engage with the design in order to read the time, encouraging a more mindful approach to timekeeping.
3. Functional Fashion Accessories - This trend focuses on designing fashion accessories, such as watches, that not only serve a practical purpose but also make a stylish statement.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion Retail - Fashion retailers can tap into the Circular Time Display trend by offering watches with unique and visually striking circular time displays, attracting customers who value both functionality and style.
2. Consumer Electronics - Consumer electronics companies can explore the Interactive Timepieces trend by designing smartwatches that require users to interact with the display to read the time, creating a more engaging and interactive user experience.
3. Product Design - Product design firms can capitalize on the Functional Fashion Accessories trend by creating innovative and aesthetically pleasing watches that seamlessly blend fashion and functionality, catering to consumers who seek both style and practicality.
