A Watch for Everyone

Post by Fitz » Tue Apr 15, 2014 8:59 pm

Eone builds watches for people with and without sight. They were inspired by Navy EOD Lt who lost his sight in an IED attack. Because a traditional watch requires sight, they build watches with ball bearings that represent the time on a dial so it can be felt.

Definitely a great mission and I think the watches look awesome too.

Here is there website with a video about the inspiration and the watch.

Cool idea but this has been around and started with brel pocket watches were they feel the hands and dots for the numbers but with a hunters case to protect the hands.

Brad Snyder is an awesome dude. I am proud to know him as a classmate from the great class of 2006, US Naval Academy. He has that relentless drive and unswerving determination that most people cant fathom. He is also featured in a season of "making the cut" about EOD school. It was filmed right before his fateful deployment. Great Navy man, better person.
