HAYKES is an Analog Watch Innovation developed to extend traditional analog timekeeping without turning it into a smartwatch.

Classic hands remain at the center.
An ultra-efficient LED ring visualizes:

  • the sun’s position

  • sunrise

  • sunset

  • the remaining duration of daylight and night

The result is a clear, intuitive 24-hour time experience — always visible, without screens or high power consumption.

Why This Matters Now

The watch market is increasingly divided between traditional analog and full smartwatches.

HAYKES introduces a third category:

Analog heritage + visible innovation — without digital complexity.

This allows brands to:

  • introduce meaningful differentiation

  • avoid direct smartwatch competition

  • create new storytelling around nature and time

  • extend product lines without platform dependency

Scalable Platform Potential

The LED ring is engineered as a low-energy signaling architecture.

Beyond solar time visualization, it can support additional time-related cues such as:

  • weather alerts

  • contextual warnings

  • status indicators

All without screens, apps, or OS integration.

This enables multi-model strategies across collections and price segments.

Strategic Advantages for Watch Manufacturers

✅ Patent- and copyright-protected innovation
✅ Ultra-low energy consumption
✅ Designed for integration into existing analog watch architectures
✅ Clear differentiation from smartwatches
✅ Strong storytelling potential for brands and collections

Haykes is intentionally designed to integrate into established watch brand DNA while offering visible, meaningful innovation.

HAYKES introduces a new way to visualize time in analog watches. By combining traditional watch hands with solar-guided light indicators, the concept introduces a 24-hour understanding of time based on the natural movement of the sun.

This innovation opens opportunities for future watch collections while demonstrating how analog watchmaking can evolve without becoming a smartwatch.

Partnership Opportunities

The concept is currently available for:

  • Licensing agreements

  • Co-development partnerships

  • Exclusive brand collaborations

We are open to discussions with innovation teams and product development leaders.
