# Pixelated Time Pieces The 'Derezzed' Watch Tells Time with Light By Patrick Walsh | Published 2011-11-06 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-watches-time-pixels References: [tokyoflash](http://www.tokyoflash.com/blog/2011/11/derezzed-watch-design-with-hexagonal-matrix/) & [coolpicturegallery.us](http://www.coolpicturegallery.us/2011/11/derezzed-watch-design-with-hexagonal.html) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.6/10 - Popularity: 92% | Activity: 98% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Hexagonal Display:** Opportunity for innovative displays using hexagonal shapes in various industries. - **Analog Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for combining analog technology with modern design in timepieces. - **Cryptic Design:** Potential for creating fashionable products with a slightly cryptic aesthetic. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Consumer Electronics:** Hexagonal displays can be implemented in smartphones, tablets, and other electronic devices. - **Fashion:** Analog technology can be incorporated into modern fashion accessories, like watches and jewelry. - **Interior Design:** Cryptic design elements can be used in home decor, creating a futuristic and stylish atmosphere. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Multiple Dice-Inspired Digital Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/d20-digital-watch.md) - [Flowing Light Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crydal-scroll-clock.md) - [Tubular Illuminating Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spacetime-blade.md) - [Robotic-Themed Retro Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airo-led.md) - [Kinetic Pattern Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moir-clock.md) - [Nostalgic Nixie Tube Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/btf-nixie-watch.md) - [Futuristic Space-Themed Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amida.md) - [Angular Automobile-Inspired Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/benly-design-s3000-cyber-watch.md) - [Honorary Digital Musician Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gshock-x-pleasures-dw5600pdp1.md)
