Kisai Watches

January 4, 2013 - design, kisai

If you're looking for a watch that simply tells the time, then our watches are probably not for you. We design wearable art, many people don't appreciate art but many people do.

I really like these Kisai watches. Usability purists probably hate them but I think the design is bold and refreshing.

From a usability perspective you should design your application, web site or gadget to be so easy to use that users don't need a manual to use it. Just take a look at these Kisai watches, these are something totally different.

The designers at Tokyoflash have taken a completely different approach. I think it's amazing that they've been able to completely rethink the design of a traditional wrist watch. And you really need a manual to know how to tell the time.

If this isn't thinking otside the box I don't know what is. I'd like to try to design a web site or an app to be as different as these watches.
