e-ink watch: phosphor world time sport

'world time sport' e-ink watch by phospor


american watch designer phosphor has developed the 'world time sport'. the timepiece employs a highly legible 'e-ink' face,
similar to that of a kindle device display.  with the reduction of small physical components in this timepiece,
the result is a sleek and durable waterproof watch, 9.3mm thick. thanks to the energy-saving nature of an e-ink interface
compared to that of a conventional display, the wearer sports a timepiece with a battery which rarely needs replacement.

the 'world time sport' has the capacity to display times from two separate zone selections simultaneously on the watch face.
24 time zones are available for selection with the option to implement one of these alternate time zones without leaving the
home display. this feature allows the wearer to switch time modes by simply swiping along the bottom of the case,
rather than with the use of a button or switch. the dual time zone e-ink face of the 'world time sport' also can also display
the date in addition to the time of day in either a standard or large font.
