Vlaemsch Internal Watch


The Internal Watch is encased in leather, rendering it non-functional as timepiece. The hidden watch transcends typical associations of status by isolating the emerging form rather than acting as a flashy signifier.

Star Murals


StarMurals are magical 5-D works of original art that resemble the real night sky, in a variety of ways. Like the night sky, StarMurals are invisible by day, yet they glow in the dark, all night long. Just like the night sky, all of my stars move and “twinkle”...even my “shooting stars” appear to move…and they are moving. There’s nothing else like it… StarMurals are truly one of a kind.

StarMurals are compelling, intriguing, awe inspiring works of fine art. Each StarMural is a custom, hand-painted view of the night sky. No form of projection is ever used…each star is plotted and placed free hand. From constellation layouts to complex views from deep space, involving galaxies, nebulae, comets, clusters and more…each StarMural is a true original.

The Cigarette Counter


1. In order to be aware of how much you are REALLY smoking: every day, before smoking the first cigarette, turn the counter on. Look at the number of cigarettes you smoked the day before and give yourself the goal to not smoke more than that, or better yet to reduce that number!
Then press “Reset"
Press "+" to add the first cigarette, and turn the counter off (the numbers stay in memory)
2. When you are ready to take control of your smoking habit, decide to set the counter to a certain number, and press the "Minus" button every time you smoke, until you reach zero.
When you get to zero you shouldn't allow yourself any more cigarettes for that day. (yeah right, if it doesn't lock itself up how do you think a smoker will hold back after that?)
This will help you to allow yourself to smoke only in certain moments of the day, which you might already know, without smoking the "extra" cigarettes. Who decides is you, in special situations you can decide to be more flexible, maybe during weekends or during a particular evening when you're out with your friends.
The important thing is that you give yourself a daily rule, and that you keep it. It is easier than quitting "cold turkey", but you still need a little bit of will power! (you just lost me.... if a smoker had that kind of will power I don't think they would need this devise.
