Fashion Watch by Zviad Tsikolia

An everlasting question penetrates my mind: Why people continue to design watches, when there are a lot of devices to feature this function?! Then the answer came: It is about classics, tradition, and lifestyle.

Watches have come a long way throughout the history and they have gained a specific signification – some kind of hidden meaning. Zviad Tsikolia, a well known watch designer has probably thought about this when conceived the idea of this Concept Fashion Watch.

The way it functions is totally amazing! Fashion Watch is actually made of modern materials, featuring an electronic date and time indicators. A couple of characteristic circles perform the role of hands. The electronic date indicator can be displayed virtually anywhere on the face of the watch.

Being made from modern materials, the watch still works using already known technologies.

It is interesting that the winding mechanism is mounted on the upper zone of the Fashion Watch. It is very convenient because it doesn’t leave any trace on your wrist as watches usually do.

I always wondered how far watch designers can go to create the watch of the future. Now I know for sure that there are no limits for new ideas even when it is about such a field as wrist watch design.

Many of my friends are convinced that Fashion Watch having a trendy look, is still rather uncomfortable to use. Well, I guess it is just a matter of time! Besides the key feature of this watch is rather its design then the functionality. It is a watch for people who are used to break the habits and have an expressed lifestyle!

This Fashion Watch looks like a tiny one, that’s why I wonder whether men would prefer it to a balkier one (ex. Rolex). Undoubtedly, the unique style of this watch will keep its owner at the center of attention! Though, I wouldn’t give one to my girlfriend and certainly wouldn’t take one for myself.

Seesaw Cellphone

When technology seams to reach its limits, design do makes a difference!

I was never able to guess how far can human mind go when it is about cell phone design. It seams that when it comes to cell phone design there is no much ground for experiments. Still some designers, such as Karsten Willmann, have the gut to step on the edge between reality and fantasy.

Seesaw Cellphone feels like a new expression of the cellular phone, like a man-to-man talk. At last its design talks in this terms. Though, I’m rather fond of creations such as Nao Tamura Cell Phone (one-piece transparent skin cover which makes you visualize colorful semi-conductor material), this one excites too with its fully packed construction, high precision and new approach.

At his turn, Karsten Willmann looks to be fond of concept design that combines high contrast OLED display and unbelievably thin forms. Additionally, the cell phone features a simple interface, comfortable numeric keypad (with soft keys) and a supporting ‘foot’ in the back-center part.

By the way, the design has already been criticized for this ‘foot’ as it seems to disrupt the harmony of the design. The irony is that the odd construction is exactly the thing that gave this cell phone its name!

It should be mentioned that the protruding bulge is not an accidental whistle of the designer. While the Seesaw phone is positioned on its back the screen stays angled which makes it more legible. Besides, the protruding bulge is hiding a camera and a flashlight. Needless to mention that such construction use to protect the surface of cell phones from scratches avoiding the full contact of the device with other surfaces.

Men’s loyalty towards high-end technologies, sophisticated materials, stylish design and devices’ functional character – isn’t to be questioned! As for me, this phone has it all. That is why I refer to Seesaw Cellphone as to a men’s one! It is like we speak the same language!
