Your comment on the inverted display is appreciated.
I assure you that it will be more useful than the biggest ?Gimmick? in the watch industry. I would have to ask, who out there uses the ?Chronograph? feature? Yes, a great symbol of craftsmanship in watch making but to me it has become the marketing icon of the wristwatch. Just look at the advertisements in watch magazines, they want consumers to believe everybody is a Jetfighter pilot, a Yachtsman who sales the ocean blue or a professional scuba diver who searches the oceans bottom for treasure! I personally have never used one, and to be honest, don?t know anyone who does. I would be willing to bet the inversion feature of the inverta will be used more in the first month than most use a chronograph in their lifetime!
My concept in design certainly incorporated the ?Flashing TC Logo? and the ?Inverted Display? as marketing features. Some may think they are cool, some a stupid idea? The inverta is a watch that can?t go unnoticed, the shape, double refractive colored sapphire and the flashing TC Logo are all, by design, to get attention. Rather one likes what they see is in the eye of the beholder. By design, these features work together to bring attention to the watch. Imagine, your sitting at a table in a restaurant for dinner, the guy at the next table over notices a ?Flash? on your watch, his second look reveals a watch like nothing he has ever seen, he?s intrigued to see it up close. He walks over inviting himself and inquires about your inverta. Will these features help the watch sell itself???possibly! By design, the inverted display can be activated from either top or bottom of the case, this will allow you or the inquisitive to activate the display so the time is displayed towards him, or her! It?s really that simple! Wearing a Pulsar LED since 1975, I have experienced this exact scenario several times, it?s why I conceived the inverted display. All I can say at this time is I have two prototypes, a green and blue TC, everyone who has seen them flipped out. The response is overwhelming, it?s truly a piece of jewelry, you?ll see!
The project is behind, I have contacted most everyone who sent in a ?Pre-Order? to give them an update. The watch actually has not been ?Officially? released yet, only the folks who visit my oldpulsar.com website know about the watch. I can say I have many waiting to buy the watch, I haven?t taken anyone?s money, something I would never do. I am a one-man band, I have done this on my own and it is very tough putting this all together. As I will be assembling the inverta here in Florida, I need all the parts from all the suppliers. I also have made a few revisions to improve the inverta. This takes time and money but I will deliver what I promise.
And finally, I want everyone to understand why I did not design a watch by copying an old TC design or use the old technology. Seems everyone has or is doing that. Nobody out there has more appreciation for the originals, no body! What I want is a ?quality? watch that lures the harts and minds of the young. I want them to feel what I felt when I saw my first Pulsar. I want the next generation to be were we collectors are today, 35 years from now. That was then, this is now, the LED watch needs a boost. I believe the inverta will do this! Maybe it won?t but please just let it take it?s coarse and let the watch speak for itself, please. Check in on the www.TheTimeComputer.com website for updates.
