Designer Todd Hamilton took a stab not only at what the still-speculative watch might look like, but how it might actually work to make calls. [|Check it out]. || media type="custom" key="24979838" || Apple filed an application for a "Bi-stable spring with flexible display" with the [|U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in August 2011]. The application describes a design that has a flexible display with a strap made of a bi-stable spring made of thin steel. When worn, the watch's "on-board sensors, like gyroscopes and accelerometers, would aid in orienting the screen's information toward the user." || || > "The most recent widespread use of such a device was the slap bracelet, also called the slap wrap. The slap bracelet consists of layered flexible steel bands sealed within a fabric cover. Typical slap bracelets are roughly one inch in width by nine inches in length. In a first equilibrium position they can be flat. The second equilibrium is typically reached by slapping the flat embodiment across the wrist, at which point the bracelet curls around the wrist and stays relatively secure in a roughly circular position." || media type="custom" key="23794668" ||
