The basic design of the wristwatch hasn't changed much over the years because of the need for a face and hands, but the conceptual 'WOTCH' looks to change things to bring the accessories into the 21st century.
The timepiece is integrated with a series of multicolored LEDs that will strategically light up to tell the time rather than relying on manual arms or moving components. This brings a digital touch to the timepiece that scales it down to the bare essentials for consumers who have a penchant for minimalistic aesthetics.
The conceptual 'WOTCH' is the design work of Tassilo Eissing and puts a focus on scaled-down accessories as consumers seek increased efficiency from the products that use they on a daily basis.
