How It Works ?

Underneath the dial are four motorized modules, each with six possible dots. Each dot can be raised or lowered individually. so the Dot can display up to four braille characters at a time.

Dot watch gives a new sense of time.  It provides direct access to practical features like Time and date,Alarm clock, Timer and stopwatch, It even tells us time down the second.

when an call come the Dot watch vibrates and the dot watch tells person who is calling. One can accept the call or denies the call just by pressing the button.

Technology should be accessible to everybody. That's why the Dot Watch can be set to Tactile Mode, which works completely without knowledge of Braille; the time is simply displayed through the number of dots.

A small idea with huge impact.
