Meet the media pocket watch
Hi there! It’s Donna and thank you for allowing me to come into your inbox.
Today, I’d like to talk about the media pocket watch.
Let’s meet this product.
Meet the media pocket watch
Well readers, here is what I have discovered and although this article me be a bit long, it is worth the reading. I myself have bought this great little gadget and I simply love it.
Please have a read.
Alexandravision is an innovative Swiss company specialized in watches for
the visually impaired.
The “Meteor” quartz timepiece was developed for visually impaired people
with the help of visually impaired people.
Its beauty lies in its elegant shape and pleasant feel, appealing to
visually impaired and sighted people alike.
Its original appearance of a crescent moon with a rounded bottom will make
more than one of your friends curious or even envious.
With its three buttons, the Meteor gives the time very simply by discrete
vibrations.
It also has many other qualities.
Of course, it’s a precize quartz watch.
It’s sturdy and waterproof.
Time setting is child’s play which only appeal to the sense of touch.
The batteries are powerful enough to make it vibrate more than five years.
It’s affordable for all.
Its nomination for the 2011 Canne Blanche award is firm evidence that we’ve
achieved our goal.
And providing the instructions for use as a video designed for the blind
adds the finishing touch to its ground-breaking approach.
How it works in detail.
Our watch was conceived to be of a simple use.
It indicates time by inaudible and discreet vibrations.
It has 3 buttons:
The upper button for Hours,
the central button for Tens of Minutes,
and the last button for Minutes.
Time indication.
A brief pressure with the thumb on the upper button indicates the Hours,
a brief pressure on the central button indicates the Tens of Minutes,
a brief pressure on the last button indicates the Minutes.
A short vibration indicates 1 unit and a long vibration indicates 5 units.
The indication range for the Hours is 1 to 12, for the Tenth of Minutes 0 to
5 and for the Minutes 0 to 9.
Examples:
3 short vibrations indicate 3 Hours or 30 Minutes or 3 Minutes depending on
the pressed button,
1 long vibration indicates 5 Hours or 50 Minutes or 5 Minutes depending on
the pressed button,
2 long vibrations followed by 2 short vibrations indicate 12 Hours,
no vibration indicates 0 Tens of Minutes or 0 Minute depending on the
pressed button.
The buttons may be pressed in any order.
For example, you can check just the Tens of Minutes and then the Minutes.
Time Setting.
Press and hold the upper button to set the Hours,
press and hold the central button to set the Ten of Minutes,
press and hold the last button to set the Minutes.
The pressure has to go beyond a long vibration which indicates you are in
setting mode.
Each of the short vibrations that follows, counts for 1 unit and adjusts the
watch until the button is released.
Examples:
To set the Hours at 9 o’clock, press and hold until you have felt the long
vibration followed by 9 short vibrations. Then release the button.
To set the Tens of Minutes to 0, press and hold until you have felt the end
of the long vibration. Then release the button.
The time can be set in any order.
For example, you can just set the Minutes. Hours and Tens of Minutes will
not be affected.
Changing the battery.
The battery will last between 2 and 5 years depending on the use of your
watch.
Use only Energizer 357 type batteries or equivalent.
Whenever possible, have your battery changed by a specialized watchmaker.
Guarantee.
Alexandravision watches are guaranteed for 2 years. This warranty covers all
manufacturing defects.
It does not cover the normal wear of the materials of which they are
constituted, nor damages due to an abnormal use, nor the battery. The Meteor
is waterproof. It can be cleaned with a wet tissue but should not be put
into water. The pendants are not waterproof.

Meteor Vibrating Pocket Watch Demo
Transcribed from audio by Kayde Rieken
J.J. Meddaugh: Hi, everybody. J.J. Meddaugh here, and I want to tell you
about a new product that we’ve added to A.T. Guys that we actually
discovered at the CSUN conference in San Diego. It’s from a company in
Switzerland called Alexandravision, and it’s a vibrating pocket watch. So
what this allows you to do is completely independently-and without
distraction to other people-check the current time, completely without audio
or Braille or anything else.
So it’s a really simple design. This is called the Meteor, and it has three
buttons on it. So the first button is for the hours, and I’m going to put
this up to the speaker so you can hear it vibrate.
[The watch gives four short vibrations.]
That’s four vibrations for4:00, and then I press the middle button, which is
for the tens .
[The watch gives three short vibrations.]
Three vibrations for 30, and then I press the bottom button for the minutes
digit .
[The watch gives one longer vibration.]
And one long vibration for 5. So the long vibrations are fives, the short
ones are ones. So it’s 4:35. A.M. or P.M. does not matter here, it’s just a
12-hour timepiece, and as you can tell, you can figure out the time
completely by vibration. So you can just keep this in your pocket and
determine the time without distracting other people.
The shape of this thing is like a small oval with part of it cut out. So the
oval is maybe two and a half to three inches long. There’s one end that’s a
little bit thicker, that’s the bottom. The top end is thinner, that’s the
top. And on one side of the oval it’s cut out a little bit, and that’s where
the buttons are. They feel like little Braille bumps, but a little bit
bigger than that, and they are very well-defined and easy to find.
To set the watch, it’s also really simple. So say I actually want to change
it to 5:00. I hold down the hours button, and I wait for a long vibration.
[The watch gives a long vibration.]
And then.
[The watch gives shorter vibrations, and J.j. counts them.]
One . two . three . four . five . and let up on the button, and now I’ve set
it to 5:00.
[The watch gives a final vibration.]
One other thing to note here is that you don’t necessarily have to press all
of the buttons. So you know it’s already 5:00. You can just press the tens
of minutes button .
[The watch gives three short vibrations.]
30 .
[The watch gives one long vibration, then two short ones.]
- 5:37. So as you can see, the operation of this pocket watch is quite
simple. It was designed that way on purpose. It’s just to act as a really
simple timekeeping device, so if you’re in a meeting, or if you’re someplace
where you don’t want to deal with a loud talking watch or pull out your
phone, you can really discretely tell the time. Also, if you are or know
someone who is hard of hearing, this would be a great tool as a timekeeping
device, since it operates completely via vibration. So anybody, even someone
who has no hearing at all, could use this watch.
The watch uses a typical watch battery and will last from two to five years
on a single battery, and of course you can replace it after that. It comes
with a two-year manufacturer warranty against hardware defects.
So this is the Meteor pocket watch. We are the first in the United States to
be distributing this. It’s available currently on the A T Guys website for a
retail price of $117 plus shipping. I’d be happy to answer any questions you
