# Disposable Glow Watches The TX54 Thumb Watch By Ayman | Published 2008-07-18 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thumb-watch References: [newlaunches](http://www.newlaunches.com/archives/nail_watchredefining_watches.php) The TX54 is a unique concept of a disposable timepiece that is worn on the user's thumbnail. It is a runner up in the *2154: the future of time design* contest, which was held by [Timex](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timex-x-mm6-maison-margiela-collection) and Core77. The translucent watch blends seamlessly with the hand; however, the watch is easily read thanks to a multiple choice of [vibrant text colors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gshock-2100-series-rainbow-watch) and a glow function that activates on command. I like the idea; it's fresh and unique. I am not sure it'd be very practical or hygienic though to have a watch on the thumbnail of the hand you use to eat and do other stuff with.
