In order to 'properly' display time in braille, one would need 9 characters (essentially a matrix of 3X18 dots). I feel that this can be made into a shorthand form, consisting of only the relevant information, layed out in an intuitive way, from left to right, top to bottom, reducing down a matrix of 4X4.

The original watch is a Diesel digital watch. The face has been re-designed. Two issues are addressed in this re-design:
1. Existing wristwatches for the visually impaired are analog. The user is meant to open the face and feel with their fingers what time it is. I feel that this is a 'shoe-horn' design. Rather than creating something that is merely acceptable, why not create someting that is desirable?
