Idea #3: Singing Bowl and Wrist Watch

Singing Bowl

Singing Bowl,also known as the "Himalaya bowl", is composed of seven metal with Gold, silver, copper, iron, tin, lead, mercury. Meteorites are the Himalayas rocks refined by hand to build from. Buddhist believes the singing bowls' sound, issued by the overtone, can help the body relax and at the same time to balance, harmonize the body's seven Chakra, which are the body's center of activity that receives, assimilates, and expresses life force energy. Singing bowls have been commonly used as a therapeutic, sound therapy, and the chakra balancing of a medium or a tool that is positive.


Singing bowl creates the low audio by high long-wavelength which helps the core of body, and the intrinsic resonance frequency effects the physiological phenomenon of acid, Ma, itching, pain. It varies from person to person, even people with high sensitivity, singing bowls can feel the interaction with the physical feedback and experience from the body to convey the message out.

Idea: Singing Bowl Wrist Watch





The world has evolved to a very technology advanced society where a lot of limitations has been erased and we are much more capable of doing things that we wouldn't have thought of doing 50 years ago. As technology continues to come up with new inventions and giving us the ability to do more and more things, human lives have become more and more busy. Busyness also has its side effects on the mental health such as stress and fatigue.
One of the things that we are constantly watching is the time. Constraints on time and balancing out our busy lives is one of the things that causes us stress. One of the traditional Buddhist practices is to use the singing bowl along with the wood fish while chanting during meditation. The singing bowl acts as a therapeutic instrument, emitting sounds that can help the body relax. We decided incorporate this component along with the wrist watch, something that is very functional but it is also something that we often look at when we are stressed out. There will be a miniature singing bowl that is built on top of the watch. When the user looks into the singing bowl, they are still able to see the time clearly. A small stick attached to the bowl will hit the bowl at every hour and it can also act as an alarm that is programmed into the watch. The singing bowl wrist watch is made for busy people who have to go through their daily hectic schedule but the singing bowl can act as a small reminder that they still take a chance to relax.
