And I mean "fantastic" in the sense of "fantasy", not of "amazing" — some of these designs have a distinctly Dyson-like feel to them.
The designs are from a feature in a 1991 issue of the Japanese magazine Axis, found in a second-hand bookstore in Newtown, Australia by Apple fan Zac Davies. Being a dutiful member of the Mac community, he scanned each page and posted them all to Flickr.
What you see above what is called the "Time Band", which appears to be a kind of wrist-mounted Newton. Ugly, but certainly a hot item for the cyber-nerd. While the designs are fascinating, its actually more interesting that Apple used to make public its concept designs. Can you imagine this happening now, on Steve Jobs’ watch?
