Quadtec Stainless Steel Digital Watch
Quadtec is the result of a collaboration between inventor Berj Terzian and watch designer Fredi Brodmann, the pair creating a digital watch that displays quarterly time periods moving around every hour centered in the watch face.
Gary Krakow reviewed these watches when they launched in 2006:
"In the normal digital watch mode the Quadtecs tell time like any other digital watch. But there are two other time-telling options. In the ES (elapsed segmented) mode your watch functions normally for the first 30 minutes of each hour. But from minute 30 through minute 59 — that actual minute readout is on the left side of the hour number. Think in terms of an analog watch — where the minute hand swings to the left side of the watch face for the second half of each hour.
The third option and my favorite is the: EF (elapsed forward). Beginning with the 30th minute of every hour, the watch changes and to counts down to the new hour. So, when it is 9:37 — the Quadtec reads 13 minutes before 10.
OK. No big deal right? Wrong! When I heard about the Quadtec I wasn’t sure what was so special. But once you put it on — wear and live with it for a few days — you begin to realize how cool it is.
I now find myself looking at the time on a digital watch and actually thinking that it’s 6 minutes to the hour or 18 minutes after the hour — depending on what time it actually is, of course."
