Hollow-Faced Timepieces

The 'WOTCH' Keeps Time in an Unorthodox Manner

— June 27, 2018 — Fashion
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.
Trend Themes
1. Minimalistic Timekeeping - The WOTCH watch changes the traditional design by using LEDs to tell the time and may offer opportunities for minimalist designs in the timekeeping industry.
2. Light-up Timepieces - The use of LEDs by WOTCH changes how time is shown and may lead to new digital innovations in the watch industry.
3. Frictionless Timekeeping - WOTCH's design may pave the way for frictionless timekeeping options in the future.
Industry Implications
1. Watchmaking - WOTCH presents an opportunity for innovation in the design of timepieces by incorporating LEDs and simplifying the basic components.
2. Consumer Electronics - The use of LEDs to tell time by WOTCH offers a new way for innovation in the field of consumer electronics for wearables.
3. Minimalist Accessories - WOTCH's design offers inspiration for an aesthetic trend for minimalistic accessories.
