World’s Largest Wristbound Curve
Posted by admin in Cool Watches on July 25th, 2010
When you’ve got a watch on your wrist, you’re constantly saying something about yourself. That’s changed since the beginning of watches. When wrist watches were first invented, you definitely said something about your identity when you wore one. Then there was a long period when everyone had one – it was standard to have one. Now, in this age of pocket-sitting clocks on mobile phones, again the age of wrist clock fashion is born. Curve ID knows this.
What Curve ID presents here is two different wrist watches, both of them for the NIKE corporation. You’ll see the lighter-gray watch that goes by then name Triax Mia, very sassy, then there’s the Vapor 300 which boasts the market’s largest curved LED screen. How about that?


Best Of Machine And Digital
Posted by admin in Cool Watches on July 24th, 2010
The Mechanized Digital Watch features a digital font but manipulates it to function as a “mechanized” number because the elements of each digit physically move to create numbers. Every digit is composed of 7 panels and to create a number, panels on the watch face recess revealing contrasting sidewalls. Thus creating the outline of a digit and a whole lot of fun!

It’s Zip Up Time
Posted by admin in Cool Watches on July 21st, 2010
The Zipper Bracelet Watch is just that, of course there is no watch face; otherwise why would it be here on YD! This concept is a wide leather bracelet where the zips actually display the current time when you hit the central buttons on the wrist. Each zip displays a digit, which you are supposed to combine together to read the time. Sounds confusing right now, but hit the jump to see what I mean. Definitely easier than a Tokyo Flash!


No Scratch Watch
Posted by admin in Cool Watches, New Design on July 19th, 2010
This cool concept watch by designer Allan George is basically aimed at the youth who like to wear trendy fashion, but maybe rough with it. Although latest scratch-proof glass materials are used in Omega, Rolex and ilk, but not all brands use this for their entire collection. And a watch with scratches on its glass looks so lame! Allan’s concept simple does away with the glass face and replaces it with a plastic-rubber finish. The colored hands peep out, behind a transparent rim, giving the watch a trendy and easy look!



Dee & Ricky x Casio G-Shock GA-110
Posted by admin in New Design on June 18th, 2010

Didn’t quite get enough of Casio G-Shock collaboration action from G-Shock and IN4MATION’s latest venture, and would like something a little more playful added to the G-Shock’s tough side? G-Shock and LEGO accessories making twins Dee & Ricky have partnered up to bring a little childhood nostalgia into the rather grown-up mix of all-resistance. The duo’s collaboration is based on G-Shock’s analog/digital mode, the GA-110 and this is also the first time the GA-110 has been used in a joint partnership.
While one might have expected something a little more flamboyant and wild from Dee & Ricky, who are known for their tendency for ostentatious play and boundless imagination, the watch is surprisingly, just the right balance of color, fun and cool subtlety. Instead of going from outrageous shapes, the duo decided to draw inspiration from the building blocks of their eponymous label, and rework components of the watch in LEGO shades and shapes. Primary colors that we are used to from LEGO? Check. The dotty LEGO grooves? Check. Dee & Ricky logo on strap and engraved on back? Double check.
The Dee & Ricky x Casio G-Shock GA-110 has just been unveiled at jewelry and watch trade show, JCK, in Las Vegas today, and will be hitting stores very soon, priced at $130 per piece. Take a first look and stay tuned for more news to come!
