Clip Watch

I’ve been thinking about a watch I can put on my coat or bag, which tells me time when I need to know because when it’s cold, my watch is under the thick coat and is hard to take out.

By making it look like a button, it may go well with many kinds of outer wears.

Click the face once and it displays the time and date on the glass face for a few seconds. (I figure we usually don’t need to stare at a watch for a long time.)

Solar battery panels charges electricity for the display.

I like Fandi Meng‘s great “Sunny Flower” concept very much and was inspired a lot by the design.

It’s a solar charger for an iPhone. Based on Fandi’s design, I made it work also as an iPhone stand.

Sketches

Before going to a new item, I dug a few sketches from my Moleskine.

Mitsubishi and two other Japanese firms invented this foliage plant-like solar cell module by using organic thin-film solar cells. I thought it would be nice if there’s something good to look at and environmentally friendly in your room like this.
