Unisex Eone The Bradley Element Black Ceramic Watch BR CE B
The Bradley timepiece was inspired by Bradley Snyder, a former naval officer serving as a bomb diffuser in Afghanistan. He lost his sight while on active duty, and refused to let this limit his life. Bradley won gold and silver medals in swimming at the London Paralympic Games in 2012 after returning home and training.
Working with Bradley, as well as other visually impaired users, Eone was able to produce The Bradley timepiece. Rather than traditional braille or tactile or talking watches, the Bradley allows the user to accurately and discreetly tell the time using touch, or visually, while still being a stylish watch and aesthetically pleasing. Inside the watch is a quartz movement with Swiss parts, and the time is told with a combination of tactile, raised hour markers, and two magnetised ball bearings running in independent tracks around the front and edge of the watch case with the hours and minutes. If the user's touch is too forceful, rather than affecting the timekeeping, the ball bearings will roll around the inside their track and settle again on the correct time.
The Element is a fresh take on the Bradley timepiece, with an innovative, three-dimensional PVD plated ceramic bezel with angular surface contoured towards the markers, allowing a lustrous finish with added durability and smooth texture. This is an all matte black finish, with a black mesh strap, self adjustable for ease of use.
The box and instructions for the watch features both text and braille for ease and inclusiveness for all people to enjoy.
