DESIGN NAME: PIXO
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Digital Watch
INSPIRATION: PIXO is a digital watch inspired from the "rolling numbers" of the mechanical clock in 70's.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The concept is about to "digitalise" the "rolling numbers" of the mechanical clock in 70's. With its full dot-matrix display, PIXO is able to show the fluent animated "rolling" numbers.
Unlike other digital watches with pushers, PIXO has only a turnable crown to operate all modes which included: Time mode, World time, Stopwatch, 2 Alarm, Hourly chime and Timer.
The overall design is targeting for people who like digital stuff with new execution. The various color combination and unisex case design are able to suit different kinds of users' preference.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: -
CHALLENGE: The critical part of the design process is to finalise the digital module. It included the detailed operation flow design of the program (software) and the compact size of the module (hardware). And the construction of the watch case is also required to be as slim and compact as possible, and is able to provide 50M water resistance.
Lastly, the turnable crown structual design is needed high precision and durability.
