A nail biting time concept

Posted in Concepts by Conner Flynn on July 16th, 2008

A nail biting time conceptTimex recently teamed up with Core77 and held a design competition called 2154: the future of time design. It was Timex’s way of celebrating 150 years of making watches. The runner up is a fascinating concept that’s not for nail biters.

Like nails on a…clock board…The TX54 would be worn on your thumbnail, and would remain clear except when you activate it. Then all you do is what you do now. Glance at the time. One thing though. Even those with large hands might find it difficult to read the time on their fingernail from say, half an arm’s length away. Pretty nifty though.

Control Freek Tennis Racquet with air-conditioning handle
Control Freek has a new and unique tennis racquet that aims to prevent sweaty palms by including an air-conditioner in the handle. I suppose this is big news for the Tennis world because sweatty palms will lose you matches and hurt your grip.

No batteries required. It was specially designed to capture air in the handle every time you swing the racquet. That air comes out through the holes and onto your palm, hopefully improving your game. I’m not sure that this would work, but if you’re the sweattiest palmed Player on the court it will cost you $275 to cool off.
