# 8-Bit-Influenced Wristwatches The Digilog Watch Tells Time Using Light and Dark Pixels By Michael Hines | Published 2012-05-24 | Updated 2012-05-27 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digilog-watch References: [tuvie](http://www.tuvie.com/digilog-watch-a-unisex-watch-that-was-inspired-by-yin-and-yang-philosophy/) & [tinyurl](http://tinyurl.com/c2yg4a9) Chances are you won’t be able to tell the time on the Digilog Watch at first glance. That’s okay, because it takes a special level of understanding to comprehend Nazuk Keshan’s unique take on the [wristwatch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amida-digitrend-open-sapphire). The Digilog Watch has no hands or numbers, instead telling time using [light and dark pixels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miniot-klapklok). The pixels are meant to express the contrast between light and dark. When there are more dark pixels on the screen than light, the time on the watch is morning. The time itself is told in a rather unique way. The bottom half of the pixelated semi-circle tells the hour, with the small, free-floating pixel used to tell the minute. Keshan’s Digilog Watch may not be the best for [telling the exact time](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arrowatch), but it sure makes one heck of a fashion statement. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 50% | Activity: 77% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/watches) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Pixelated Fashion:** Opportunity for innovative apparel and accessory designs that incorporate pixelated graphics. - **Alternative Time-telling:** Potential for disrupting traditional watch designs by creating alternative ways to display time. - **Minimalist Aesthetics:** Growing trend towards sleek and minimalistic designs in the fashion industry. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can explore pixelated designs and minimalist aesthetics in their clothing and accessories. - **Watchmaking:** Watch manufacturers can develop alternative time-telling mechanisms and designs to create unique and innovative timepieces. - **Technology:** Tech companies can explore the integration of pixelated displays and minimalist aesthetics in their products, such as smartphones and tablets. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Multiple Dice-Inspired Digital Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/d20-digital-watch.md) - [Futuristic Space-Themed Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amida.md) - [Nostalgic Nixie Tube Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/btf-nixie-watch.md) - [Robotic-Themed Retro Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airo-led.md) - [Liquid Droplet DIY Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/droplet-watch.md) - [Alternative Time Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dozen-clock.md) - [Collaborative Graffiti Digital Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timex-t80-keith-haring.md) - [Pixelated Flip-Style Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miniot-klapklok.md) - [Rad Retro-Style Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retrofuture-wrist-tech.md)
