sand + time watch

Sand+Time Watch is a project that unites modern technologies and old ways of measuring time. Sand+Time offers its wearer the time in modern electronic hours, but the form of the interface has also been borrowed from an old sand hourglass. The watch functions in two modes. The first, the screensaver, takes the form of a sand hourglass counting a certain time unit set by the user to their preference. (The default setting for the hourglass is to count one minute.) The second mode displays the time in numbers ?– the most common electronic interface for the modern person.

I really like it .because my teacher give us these pics when we take part in FIYTA watch design competition in CHINA. now I have finished my FIYTA watch and submit it. welcome to my web(www.coroflot.com/menghui) I will upload them soon…
a really interesting concept of mixing tradition with technology!
@Menghui
I’m looking forward to see your design :)
this is SO interesting! such a unique concept, and the design is sharp an attractive. makes a good conversation piece, as well as great eye candy.
Really nice, Pavel! I couldn’t but write that I admire your invention very much!
Do produce it!
Hi from Ukraine:)
really awesome
I really like this idea. I’d buy one, if only as a talking point. Hop it makes it to market.
Would be an absolute hit at my next party.
I collect watches and would love to add this one if it is ever actually produced.Please post if this is a possiblity and if so where it can be found at.Thanks Bud.
this is a concept and as far as I know, it has not been produced yet,
but for details and info, please contact the designer Pavel Balykin,
you can find him at http://www.balykindesign.com/?p=CONTACT
This is marvellous!
I don’t wear a watch because I’m not so much interested as what time of day it is. What I am interested in, is how much time do I have left before I have to rush off to the next thing on my calendar. This, I’d wear and love this. Hope it comes to market. Moms worldwide would call you blessed. We could even put it on our children’s arms when they go outside and we say “be back by …” or “you’ve only got … minutes”. Children have NO concept of time. But a visual representation like the egg timer, they understand.
Usually, watches don’t phase me. But this design is certainly not only eyecatching, but useful as well. This is one watch I’d actually wear than leave it in the giftbox.
Wonderful!
my god, that’s awesome, congratz
one more thing to add to the “why i din’t think about that!” list
I like the ides…
can it be some design with a bit more girlish?
You are absolutely brilliant…four hours on the net and this is the best I have seen so far..I would like a watch
To Nicha: I find pairing up a girly outfit with something that is a little masculine,sets you apart(good apart)
