‘Sharing Watch’ by Korean design studio MAEZM displays the time in such a way that it is read in the same way to you as it can be read by others.
‘Normal wrist watch is worn so that the numbers are visible at the front when arm is folded toward the trunk of body. However, if through a slight change of turning the display board 90 degree, the intrinsic meaning of the watch changes. The information of time that I read is the same as those of others just as they are mine.
The subject of sharing is elevated from physical dimension to behavioral dimension.
The small change of numeric board which is turned 90 degree is intended to be the considerateness to others along with user convenience.
Such a small change of idea enabled sharing of time with others nearby or others standing opposite site. Through this sharing in this unfamiliar change, we can newly experience the relationship with others by way of time, and that is how Maezm wanted this watch to serve.’
