# Morse Code Watch Concepts The X-Shaped Watch is Designed for Advanced Time-tellers By Michael Hines | Published 2013-06-18 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xshaped-watch References: [tuvie](http://www.tuvie.com/x-shaped-lcd-watch-features-fresh-and-youthful-design/) It's not tough to guess where the X-Shaped watch got its name from. A designer named Dimitri submitted this watch to Tokyoflash's design blog. His watch has a [unique face that tells time](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/otsuka-lotec-no5-kai) using both dashes and dots. No word on whether you can use it for [Morse](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/morse-code-cortez) code purposes. The hours of the X-Shaped watch appear on the top of the face and the minutes on the bottom. There's no easy way to tell time using the watch; instead, a cheat sheet is provided to let you know just what everything means. The [neon LED lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dwn5600-nano-ring) and matching strap are a nice touch. The design of the X-Shaped watch is a bit complex, but its look is right on point. Tokyoflash has a history of creating user-submitted watches, so don't be shocked if Dimitri's design becomes a reality sometime in the future. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 32% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Asia ## 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 - **Customizable Watches:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a platform for consumers to design and personalize their own unique watch faces. - **Intuitive Time-telling:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop watches with innovative time-telling methods that are easy to understand without the need for a cheat sheet. - **Smartwatch Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine the aesthetic appeal of traditional watches with the functionality of smartwatches to create a stylish and tech-savvy timepiece. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate technology and fashion to design wearable accessories that are both stylish and functional. - **Gadget Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the market potential for unconventional watch designs that appeal to tech enthusiasts and collectors. - **E-commerce:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop an online platform for selling and customizing unique watch designs, catering to the preferences of individual consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sleek Magnetic Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triarch.md) - [Mechanical Digital Mesmerizing Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triaxial-numechron-clock.md) - [Alien-Like Watch Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gav01-series.md) - [Asymmetrical Shadowy Wristwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/good-evil-omen.md) - [Liquid Droplet DIY Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/droplet-watch.md) - [Abstract Artwork-Inspired Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ode-to-delaunay-watch.md) - [Haute Fashion Digital Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timex-x-mm6-maison-margiela-collection.md) - [Origami-Inspired Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casio-31.md) - [Nostalgic Nixie Tube Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/btf-nixie-watch.md)
