Boarding pass that doubles as a watch

I absolutely love seeing concept designs of things that we may very well be using at some point in the future – I’m always wondering how something will be improved and actually seeing how someone answers that question is exciting to me.

This concept is called Ticketime and here’s how it would work – it’s a boarding pass for getting on a plane, train or bus, similar to our old-fashioned fuddy-duddy tickets. It is, in fact made of paper but it’s electronic paper. It contains two tiny magnets that allow you to wear the boarding pass around your wrist. big deal, right? What makes that any different from those neon plastic bracelets you get at amusement parks and carnivals?

That makes it different is that it’s also a watch. The time is set to whichever time zone you’re heading to. If you’re traveling within a small area that might not be exciting but it would be handy if you’re flying overseas and crossing several time zones in one trip.

Once you collect your pass/watch, you keep it with you throughout the trip, wearing it as often as you’d like, and then you return it at the end of your trip once you check in to head home.

Nice touch – the strips are recyclable so you’re not adding to waste problems.

What do you think? I like this idea. It’s not pretty or anything – it would never compete with a nice Rolex. But it’s only a concept, they may beautify it if they actually create this.

    Looks like a cool idea. I’ll be interested to see the final product when it comes to market. I could definitely see some value to it.
