More and more watch concepts bring a new perspective on the way we tell the time and the latest one, the Torus, does it by adding a little bit of color. Coming from a Belgium Product design student, by the name of Nicolas Meiresonne, the Torus wrist watch concept uses color and a touchscreen to tell the approximate time.

Since we live in a fast and crazy world, I guess there's no need for accuracy in time telling anymore, and many people started choosing design over it, the Torus concept has high chances of becoming reality pretty soon.

 

Designed like a bracelet, this watch is supposed to give the user a perception of time and some sort of experience. This way, just like in the case of sun dials, you will not get the actual time, but just an approximate time of day. The colors on the watch rotate in order to tell what time of day it is. For instance, blue/green represents morning, yellow/orange, the afternoon and red/purple, evening and nighttime.

 

Although it's not stated very clearly, the users can also set alarms by tapping the touchscreen. Apparently, by double tapping a color, a timer will be set. Nevertheless, if you are a person who has to participate in a great deal of important meetings, this watch is definitely not for you, as arriving to the office and meeting clients at an approximate time may damage the business.

 

According to the designer, the target group of this watch is represented by women in their 30s, who exercise twice a week, are happily married and have children. However, even for this category, knowing the approximate time might not be that great after all. Although the design of this wrist watch catches the eye, its practicality is rather reduced and it would be indeed a great accessory for the people who don't have a well-determined schedule and have a great sense of style and love for color, but that's about it.
