Embracing universal design principles, A Domino is a watch that can be read by vision-impaired people as well as those with good sight.

A Domino has been designed to avoid the problems faced by vision-impaired people with regard to finding out the time. Talking clocks can prove aurally intrusive in quiet environments, and the ever-moving hands on Braille clocks can cause difficulty for reading the time. A Domino is a universal watch that overcomes these problems. It can be used by people with good or poor sight. It distinguishes between day and night by presenting 1:00pm as 13:00.

A button on the side of the watch switches the clock into a calendar. A Domino is worn on the wrist, and can fit all age groups due to its cable-tie format. The circumference size can be easily adjusted, and the watch can be readily taken off and worn again.
