Funky fingernail timepieces
I love watches. I love them so much that I actually have a small collection at home that I lovingly care for. Right now, I’m concentrating on vintage Seikos from the 60s and 70s but I am trying to bulk up and improve my collection by including some digital – analog sports watches that I’ve grown to love because of their versatility.
But if I could, what I’d love to add to my collection is this new concept of a watch from both Timex (http://www.timex.co.uk/) and Core77.
The new watch concept was conceptualised by designers Napoleon Merena, Steffen Schubert, and David Takacs. Their cool design was the winner of the recently held design competition 2154 The Future of Time. The cool looking conceptual watch is actually a miniature timepiece that has been engineered to fit onto a person’s fingernail. The timepiece will use a disposable stick on design that stays translucent until it is pressed – which would then automatically start showing the time, date and the AM and PM signs.
The timepieces will be made available in different colours that users can use for fashion coordination. Another funky application is to put the timepieces on different fingers to show the different time zones.
As of the moment, there are no schedules or planned timelines on when this will be made available as well as how much these timepieces will actually cost, even the more technical details have not yet been ironed out (are they reusable? Waterproof?). But despite having a lot of things still up in the air, this looks like it’s going to be a hit when it’s released.
