Hasta La Ideas

Watches are to men as diamonds are to women; both count as the number one fashion accessory and are timeless. Innovation is of essence and creative ways of telling time is a novelty factor. Beyond doubt, complications and mechanical watches are the epitome of technicalities, however due credit has to be given to path-breaking manufactures like the T-Block Watch. Designed to dress the wrist, the most challenging part is to resist the linear display of time!

The watch is inspired by the ‘less is more’ styling and is made using a tough polyurethane case and seamless matching strap. There is a very unique way to read the time, which is showcased via the embedded LEDs on the watch face. The dial houses an array of attractive lights that dim in sleep mode. However, if you want to know the date or time, simply hit one of the buttons and the lights appear, revealing it.

Ask a watch designer and they will tell you that designing it is not as easy as drawing a strap and affixing a dial; there is a scientific and holistic approach to it. Research and development are the backbone of this endeavor and only once everything is in sync, can it be manufactured. The same process applies to the T-Block Watch, which stems from the lineage of the Classic, Zero A and Zero B watches from TIME-IT. After the successful invention of the ‘linear time reading system’, the process was integrated in this iconic watch.

The TIME-IT folks say that it took several years of R&D by a devoted team of technicians, engineers and designers to realize this studio. Founders Ramon Groen and Michaël Mourgue laid the groundwork of creating a watch never seen before: An LED display with linear time reading system that could change perception of time!

It’s difficult for children suffering from congenital heart defects to fully understand the seriousness of their condition as well as how they can prevent the onset of serious symptoms. To heighten kid’s awareness and help educate them on ways to take control of the problem, the Koen smartwatch detects abnormal changes in heart rate and distracts the wearer by automatically presenting a game to slow their heart rate. Games include breathing and calming exercises so little ones can learn how to control their condition and get back to being kids!

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.
