Artime Concept Watch

Monday, January 18th, 2010

Amaz­ing. With all the inno­va­tion and ideas that have risen and made them­selves known around the world, you’d think that we’ve thought of every­thing already.

Check this out … it’s a watch that’s based on the user. I guess which is to say, you see the time when you want to see it — maybe?

Everything’s in French on the offi­cial site [and the Vimeo page … Google trans­late didn’t help much] so that’s the best I can come up with [I def­i­nitely failed French class in the sev­enth grade].

Skiff Reader

Paul Webb DSGN Journal - Skiff Reader 01

There’s a new e-reader on the play­ground and it means to play.

A full touch­screen enables users to intu­itively nav­i­gate and engage with the news­pa­pers, mag­a­zines, books and other dig­i­tal con­tent they pur­chase through the Skiff Store, as well as per­sonal and work documents.

The device weighs just over one pound and lasts over a week of aver­age use between charges.

I am def­i­nitely excited about this. Other e-readers cur­rently avail­able didn’t appeal to me in the least [aside from the one from Barnes & Nobles] and the Skiff has so much more to offer than its competition.

You can get a lot more info at the offi­cial site [and even more later on this week, after it gets pre­viewed at the 2010 Inter­na­tional Con­sumer Elec­tron­ics Show].

Castle Key Bottle Opener

Paul Webb DSGN Journal - Castle Key Bottle Opener 01

Uncap­ping a cold soda or a frosty brew has never been so ele­gant. This would go great with a man­sion, or just a very vin­tage look­ing home and at $12 USD, you can afford to grab a couple.
