Touching Time
Ironically Daniel just posted about how Zebra fish stem cells may cure blindness in people. Until then, the Swatch Sens clock may help those with vision problems do something most of us take for granted - tell time.
Designed by Arnaud Lapierre, the Sens project was designed for Swatch with some real production possibilities if the market is right. The ceramic device has a 12 hour marker written in braille to indicate which way is up. The upper ring denotes what hour it is simply by its distance from the 12 hour marker. Beneath that ring is another one set for an alarm. Feeling out the difference in distance between the alarm ring to the hour ring in relation to the 12 hour marker tells you how much time you have left to sleep. When the two rings line up, the alarm rings.
They had me at ceramic. More pictures after the jump.

that's pretty rad. I wonder if the alarm vibrates.
