The Mirror Watch by SDWorks is a pretty simple idea, with a great presentation. As a winner at China's Most Successful Design Award competition, Cheuk Kee Lai's design features an LED digital watch that doubles as mirror when not in use.
Available in stainless steel brushed finishing, black color and gold plating, this functional design also presents some fashion value. Who would have thought of this SDWorks mirror watch to blend electronics and vanity?
