In this design, the hour is displayed traditionally, but the minutes are represented abstractly. Small squares represent a minute, large squares 10 minute blocks, and the rectangles denote 30 minute time blocks. These watches read 10:01 am, 7:29 am, and 8:58 pm. *Photo: Albert Salamon*

Salamon's goal with this watch face is to remind wearers to focus on the big picture. This face only displays time in 15 minute and one hour blocks, but indicates five and 10 minute increments by blinking the squares at different rates. These watches read 4 a.m., 7:45 a.m., and 11 p.m. *Photo: Albert Salamon*
