Sundial - concept of the wall clock

Today, when almost everyone has a mobile phone, classic wall clock is not very relevant, but if such a concept as the Sundial, will translate into reality, then surely no one geek thinks about purchasing it.

Sundial is a wall clock projector that displays on a wall around themselves in addition to the current time, various useful information such as business, planned for the day, exchange rates, weather, calendar, news, and so on.

This idea deserves implementation, such as wall clock will not only serve to display different data, but also become an excellent interior decoration.

Watch these can operate your TV, DVD player, and indeed everything that has an infrared port. From, in fact, the normal functions here is an alarm clock and chronograph.

Watches with unusual dials

The Orbo is a series of watches with unusual dials. The series includes the Temp, the Date and the Stop, all of which have orbiting digital displays mounted ontop of the regular analogue dial. The secondary displays feature temperature or date depending upon the model. However the Stop is a Chronograph and features a cluster of secondary displays.

Who Needs A Watch When They Have A Cell Phone?

Fashion watches will soon disappear from department stores, extirpated by the same thing that's wiping out phone books and yellow pages: digital devices.

When a fellow wants to know what time it is there's usually cell phone in his pocket (which, marvelously, someone else is responsible for keeping set). That phone handles time-zone change automatically - something few fashionable watches can do. Some women keep their cell phone in a purse; but often I see men and women walking with cell phones in hand, time in their faces.

There will always be specialty watches that have GPS or pulse monitor or whatever else a serious athlete or geek might want (as pictured).

Those palladium pr niobium or whatever other *ium-cased Euro-watches that advertise in the Sunday New York Times, however, are fast being relegated to antique status (symbols).

Advantage of going watch-less
A college student on tight class schedule might want a watch. Also, a person who works in a building where cell phones must be kept off. Definitely, doctors and nurses and pilots need dependable watches. But, most people don't; and, for that reason, a whole lot of batteries and noble metals and packaging can foregone. Less is more.

Excursions.
After emerging from some concentrating task, a day dream, or reading a book, for example, I'll often try to guess what time it is. Usually I can peg it within ten minutes. Do others do this?

Have you ever known someone who, when asking for the time, would demand an answer to the nearest second? Kids do that a lot. I purposefully answer to the nearest quarter hour to elicit an explanation as to what awesome thing might happen at any second.

Members of these hours can be quickly and accurately determine the time of bulges, the appropriate time tags.

While his goal far from over, but we hope that there will be people who share his aspirations and are ready to assist in the implementation of its plans to create the watch for the blind.

Yonkaku Watch

Wristwatches Yonkaku Watch not round the arrow, and not an arbitrary shape, but with electronic digits. They are square, so even with the quadrate, indicating the time.

Despite the deliberate obscurity Yonkaku Watch them can handle any person who as a child learned how to assemble a pyramid consisting of rings of different sizes. The only difference is that these are not Watch rings and squares.

Even the dial Yonkaku Watch is a square, divided into nine other identical squares, each of which is responsible for a number from 1 to 9. As the flow of time in these areas appear white squares that and perform the function of unique arrows.
And here and it is useful to distinguish between the ability of approximately equal size elements that we received in childhood while playing with the pyramid. After all, small white squares on Yonkaku Watch is responsible for clock, and larger - in minutes.

That is, if the smallest square is at number 2, a little bigger - in one, big - on the top five, but the biggest - at nine, it is now 21:59. If the two figures fall to single digit, then the smaller one fits inside the larger. In general, nothing complicated. It is only necessary to adjust to this method of feeding the current time. And it comes quickly.
