Not simply a follow up
From Time80, many significant changes have been made while doing our best to maintain the essence of its predecessor.
A shift has been made from straightforward design philosophy towards one with curves, contours, bold blending curves, all put together with a cyberpunk aesthetic.
Design Changes
Previously, the top and bottom cases had a flat structure, with the slope integrated into the top case.
However, this design sometimes led to hollow-sounding typing without foam and might not appeal to many female users due to its direct style.
With Time 65, we've placed the slope on the bottom case, returning to the traditional slope design and added fluid curves to the sides.
The challenge with this design was addressing the issue of the bottom case being thinner than the top, preventing the insertion of the dial.
However, we cleverly resolved this issue, giving the overall appearance a more dynamic feel.

Foam Choices Aplenty
The five layers of foam and the professional structural design greatly enhance the typing experience of Time65.
Inspired by Timepieces
We've also made intricate changes to the dial, adding Roman numeral time scales, simulating the gears and screws found in mechanical watches, and replacing the previous heart-shaped hands with Omega-style sword hands.
Additionally, we've added a second hand and a simulated chronograph dial above.
While we'd love to perfect the Time design further, even considering creating a real watch, consultations with industry professionals have made us realize the immense challenge of creating a mechanical watch movement that is far beyond our capabilities.
Therefore, to avoid regrets, we've focused on making the dial's interior design as realistic and detailed as possible, mimicking mechanical watches' overall structure and details where feasible.
