The 'Derezzed' watch reveals time through an interesting, pixelated display of light.

The display is based on hexagons, and the LCD display is based on analog technology thus providing room for hours and 5 minute variances. One hexagon will show the current hour and one linked to this to denote whether it is am or pm. A larger hollow hexagon shows the 5-minute step, followed by up to four additional hexagons for the exact minute. The material is gloss black that shines into a bright blue neon light, all framed in a matte black color.

The Derezzed watch is designed to be slightly cryptic, yet obvious to the trained eye. Throw on one of these timepieces to look futuristic and fashionable.
