The Bradley Timepiece, a watch designed for blind people and named after a Paralympian gold medallist who lost his sight in Afghanistan, is up for design of the year at London's Design Museum. there are surprisingly few timepieces for the blind out there, and eone really has a fantastic opportunity in this, not just to make a beautiful product-which this is-, but to make something that really helps people.Leaning down to glance at your Seiko Astron to check the time?
