The innovative Ring Clock was originally nothing more than a viral product concept a few years ago. However, designer Gusztav Szikszai is now looking to bring the concept to market as demanded by the fans.

The ring is constructed from durable, surgical-grade stainless steel, and is comprised of three rotating rings that will display the hour, minute and seconds through the use of either blue or orange LED lights. The Ring Clock is equipped with a rechargeable lithium polymer battery that can be charged wirelessly (when set atop the included charging dock), and will last up to a full week on just a single charge. The ring is completely water resistant, and will be available in 21 different sizes.

I love how the color of the metal and the lights on the ring complement each other to bring out a very futuristic design. I think that the design of the ring clock will revolutionise the way we view time. Currently, watches are worn on the wrist and when we need to look at the time we refer to our write. But this modern design has ignored social stereotypes of viewing the time from our watch, and has taken it to the next level by putting it on our finger. Not only the ring is visually appealing, it is also very practical. I believe in the future there would be even more changes to the design, and who knows, these ring clocks might replace watches in the distant future. I definitely want one of this.
