Cool New Watch

[dsimon9]

In the car while listening to NPR a story about a soldier who helped design a new watch for folks who happen to be blind.  Here is the link:

Pretty ingenious.

Wow, certainly a great idea. This will help so many people around the world. I like how they also marketed it to sighted individuals as a discrete way to tell the time.

Excellent, it takes a large amount of skill to design what basically boils down to a brail watch. Brilliant.

Wow!  At $195 US it's a unique piece to own.    Cheaper than taking the missus for dinner!  Just placed an order for one and will report back mid June when it arrives.

That's great, Al! Can't wait to hear what you think of the piece once it arrives. Certainly a good choice adding it to your collection.

I like that. I see a bit of Skagen in it.

I love the concept and aesthetically it's nice looking too. I'm a bit confused on the function of the two bearings though. In the video, they say the outer bearing (what sighted people would see as the longer minute hand) is the minute hand and the shorter one on the inner track is the hour hand. But on their website, is sows the opposite???
