Vision Australia is now stocking the Eone Bradley Watch – a sleek, award-winning wristwatch that combines classic design with practical, modern technology to enable people with all levels of vision to tell the time easily.
In a practical sense, the Bradley allows users to tell the time by touch. Raised hour markers and two magnetised ball bearings, one for the minute and one for the hour, make for simple use, regardless of how bright or dark a room is.
The Bradley timepiece encompasses not only inclusive design, but is fashionable as well
By running a finger over the tactile markers, wearers feel where the ball bearings are located.
If either of the ball bearings moves out of place, a shake of the wrist will snap them back to the correct locations.
Wearers can also easily set the time using a traditional side winder.
Sleek Good Looks
This stylish wristwatch has a lightweight titanium face and case, reliable movement, a sleek unibody dial and a smart, durable strap. It comes in a range of attractive colours – silver, moss green, rose gold and tan – as an elegant solution for those looking for a clean, minimalist aesthetic to match casual and more formal styles.
Bradley wearer David Woodbridge says he appreciates the watch’s simple accessibility, as well as its sleek, good looks.
“Most of the time, products for people who are blind or have low vision are designed for functionality with no nod towards fashion,” Mr Woodbridge said.
“The Bradley timepiece encompasses not only inclusive design, but is fashionable as well.
“As it says on the box ‘design for you, designed for everyone’.”
Awarded Design
The Bradley has won renowned design awards, including an iF Design Award, Red Dot Award, Good Design Award, and a German Design Award. It has become part of the permanent collection at the British Museum in London in 2014.
An NDIS approved consumable, it retails for AU$395.
