Is That a Time Machine in Your Pocket, or Are You Just Happy to See a New iPod Nano Watch?

Well, it’s almost a first: an industrial designer is poised to redefine product design by using a crowdfunding platform to launch his killer timepiece-inspired accessory for an iPod Nano.

The twist? It doesn’t go on your wrist—it goes in your pocket. Obsolescence aside, the wrist is (or was) just one of at least two appropriate locations for a personal chronometer, and Melbourne-based designer Edwin Conan prefers the nostalgic appeal of the original place: in the pocket.

I have been wearing this very pocket watch everyday. Every time I pull it out to check time, it feels like I’ve actually traveled back in time and the world become black and white. It feels, special.

The iPocketWatch is a time instrument; it is also a time machine. And here I am, sincerely inviting you to share this unique feeling with me. With your support, not only can we make this iPW a reality, but we may also, and this is just a hope, bring the idea of the pocket watch back to life.
