Tactile Timekeepers

The Haptica Braille Watch Indicates the Hour to Your Fingertips

There are a couple of means by which the visually impaired can check the time; however, neither quite matches the intuitive potential of the Haptica Braille Watch.

Designed by David Chavez, this textured time-teller concept includes an embossed plate from which the blind can literally read the hour. The Haptica Braille Watch is counting on pledges from the public with the aim to raise enough money to begin production.
