Concept watch – 2 versions
Posted on 05. Oct, 2012 by Roy Jones in Design, Hi-Tech, High Tech's Future
“Tri-Hub” and “Tri-Hub Hybrid”.
Design submitted by Peter from the UK.
Tri-Hub, the basic premise being the time would be displayed via three cylinders mounted on a centre “Hub”. This layout give the watch an expensive and technical look. The three cylinders on the analogue version rotate to tell the time. One cylinder tells the hours, another describes groups of ten minutes and the third displays the single minutes. The entire “Hub” assembly rotates to display seconds. 
The “Hybrid” version used three LED illuminated plastic tubes to acts as viewers for the LCD below. The viewers are connected to an analogue “hub” this rotates to display the minutes (this could be for the hours or seconds) The hours and seconds are displayed by the LCD and highlighted by the viewer (the LCD minutes can be turned on and off depending on preference) .
This design has a gadgety technical feel that make appeal to people who like that type of product. The case is traditional in form so shouldn’t scare off the more traditionalists.
The time telling method and look sets this design from others. The analogue version gives the design an up-market feel. The hybrid version is more techie and may appeal to the more geekish amongst us.
