# Projector Watches ‘Ex-Time' Displays Time Anywhere So You Can Feel Like Bond By Alexandra Choli | Published 2009-01-27 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ex-time-projector-watch-display-time-anywhere-movie-style References: [gizmowatch](http://www.gizmowatch.com/entry/ex-time-show-time-with-cool-style/) & [tuvie](http://www.tuvie.com/show-time-using-ex-time) Telling time is no great joy, but you may soon be able to jazz it up a bit with the new Ex-Time watch. The [futuristic timepiece](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gav01-series) displays time to the second, as well as showing the current date, but it stands out for its advanced projecting capabilities. Resembling a [cool Bond watch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-hole-tourbillon), it can create a nice time tattoo on your wrist, or launch a mini show on a nearby surface, and it can also shoot time out into the dark. Its [slick bracelet design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triarch) comes straight out of sci-fi movies – although there is an unpleasant association with hospital wrist bands. The novel idea belongs to designer Rong Yong, but unfortunately it is still a prototype; we will definitely be looking out for its debut in the market. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 66% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/watches) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Projector Wearables:** Incorporating projection technology into wearable devices can provide innovative display options for users and open up new potential markets. - **Advanced Timepiece Functionality:** Expanding the functionality of traditional watches beyond simple timekeeping can create unique selling points for consumers and offer increased value. - **Futuristic Jewelry Design:** Incorporating sci-fi inspired design elements into traditional jewelry pieces can attract consumers seeking unique and fashion-forward accessories. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Wearable Technology:** The incorporation of projection technology into wearable devices offers a new direction for the wearable technology industry to explore and expands the potential for advanced functionality. - **Fashion and Accessories:** Futuristic jewelry designs like the Ex-Time watch can attract consumers seeking unique and adventurous fashion accessories, creating a potential market for designers and retailers. - **Consumer Electronics:** Advanced timepiece functionality and projection technology could be disruptive innovations for the consumer electronics industry, offering new solutions for personal and professional users. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Global Timezone Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nik-bentel-studio.md) - [Futuristic Space-Themed Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amida.md) - [Autonomous Solar-Powered Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exoskeleton-solar-watches.md) - [Rad Retro-Style Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retrofuture-wrist-tech.md) - [Angular Automobile-Inspired Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/benly-design-s3000-cyber-watch.md) - [Breakup-Celebrating Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/myex.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) - [Phosphorescent LCD Digital Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casio-pro-trek-watches.md)
