Hasta La Ideas

Dezeen Watch Store: Scout, the first watch by Swiss-based design studio Big-Game, is now available in five colours at Dezeen Watch Store.

Designed for everyday use, Scout features flat surfaces and geometric lines with a bold, easy-to-read face and contrasting numerals and markers.

“We researched heavily on military and functional timepieces throughout history,” Big-Game told Dezeen Watch Store. “Their use of high contrast dials, readable typefaces and simple case designs made them look functional and elegant at the same time.”

“We wanted to come up with our own updated version and call it Scout – a simple, robust, affordable timepiece – a tool for everyday life,” added the designer.

The watch, which features a durable nylon strap, also draws from surprising nostalgic inspiration. “In a more unexpected way we were always big fans of the Flik Flak kids watches that also have an aluminium case and a Nylon strap,” explained the designer.

Scout comes available in five colours; red, green, blue, black and grey, and is available with free worldwide shipping.

You can buy all of our watches online, and you can also visit our watch shop in Stoke Newington, north London – contact us to book an appointment.

This alarm clock created by Adrian and Jeremy Wright for French design brand Lexon is turned on and off by flipping it over (+ slideshow).

The FLIP clock by DesignWright for Lexon is a small rectangular case, with “ON” written on one of the larger surfaces and “OFF” written on the opposite side.

When ON is visible, the clock’s alarm has been activated and a smaller clock symbol appears in the right-hand corner of the display to indicate what time the alarm is set for.

When the alarm rings, the user simply turns the clock upside-down to reveal the OFF side.

The numbers on the LCD display automatically rotate when it tips over 90 degrees so the time is still displayed the correct way up.

“The concept came from a simple observation that the seven segment display is symmetrical, which allows you to display numbers both ways up,” explained Adrian Wright. “We thought instead of trying to find a small button in the dark to turn the alarm on/off, you just turn it over and the time flips as well.”

Both sides of the clock are touch-sensitive, acting as both a snooze button and also a way of illuminating the LCD display.

The FLIP comes in ten colours and is made from ABS plastic with a rubberised finish. “We didn’t really design the product for anyone in particular, but when we heard that people were also buying it for their children, we realised we must have got it right,” said Wright.

The following is from the designers:

The Buro range is the result of Adrian and Jeremy Wright’s first collaboration with renowned design brand Lexon. The London-based designers were invited to create a product, or range of products, to celebrate Lexon’s 20th anniversary.

Ubiquitous items like staplers, hole-punches and calculators clutter up most of our desks. They rarely match or have any sense of unity. Here, the designers saw an opportunity to create a range of desk tools which work well and look great, both individually and as a set.

Buro brings together the objects commonly found on the desk into a coherent, practical range. With each item taking the form of a simple block, they can be neatly aligned or stacked in any orientation much like a collection of books.

Buro is available in three colour gradients – green, grey and purple.

Materials: ABS plastic with a rubberised finish.
