I have one. Not sure if feasible to make this a mechanical watch.

Nice design. Seiko has been making so-called Braille watches since (I think) the 1960s, though I guess Braille is the wrong term, since that's the name of the raised-dot method of reading.

I think it says something about a massive company, that they're prepared to invest in, what must be a relatively niche market. Well done Seiko.

I think 'Braille' is now a generic term for any fingertip 'reading' (or writing) system.
I like to imagine Louis Braille wouldn't object. (as long as they spell his name with an upper case 'B')

I was drawn to the Eone Bradley watch whilst reading about Bradley Snyder an
American Olympic, Gold Medalist. An inspirational young man injured on duty in the 'Badlands' of Central Asia.

I have an Eone watch. It’s a cool watch and you can know the time “politely” during a meeting without looking at it.
