The lack of unnecessary elements increases the legibility of information and at the same time, it is the essence of the TTMM products. This collection consists of clear and functional designs as well as eccentric ones which require some deeper sensing and deciphering effort. All projects follow CMF's visual guidelines in the form of reduced colors and a style based on rounded corners and fonts made of dots.

Interviews
Grand Interview
Your innovative approach to time visualization in Ttmm is Everything Clock Face Apps challenges traditional clock face design - could you elaborate on how you developed these abstract representations while ensuring they remain decipherable for users?
This question hits at what I consider to be the most important value of TTMM projects. Simply put, I freely used my intuition and creative drive. I turned free ideas that came to my mind into the project. After developing a mockup of the project, I tested it on myself, examining its readability and making improvements. This approach requires the recipients to understand my system of thinking, which includes a specific visualization of time. I believe that this approach enriches the recipients' thinking.
The minimalist aesthetic of Ttmm is Everything Clock Face Apps aligns beautifully with CMF's visual guidelines - what inspired your decision to work with reduced colors and dot-based fonts while maintaining functionality?
Initially, the TTMM designs were created for the very low resolution black and white screen of the Pebble watches. This required cleverness and design discipline in balancing the background and the form of the time display. This design experience combined with the development and improvements in the field of increasing resolution and quality of smartwatch screens allowed me to easily adapt the TTMM time patterns using CMF brand colors.
As the creator of numerous watch face designs over the past decade, how did you overcome creative barriers to develop entirely new time presentation concepts for Ttmm is Everything Clock Face Apps?
Some of the projects are modern adaptations of classic TTMM projects using the benefits of high contrast and resolution screens. Completely new projects appeared spontaneously and were driven by the desire to create - that is the best force.

- Production Technology
- All clock faces were designed in Sketch.
- Design Challenge
- The creative challenge was to come up with and develop completely new ways of presenting time. It was very difficult because for 10 years I had created dozens of original solutions and I was afraid that my creativity had exhausted itself. Ultimately, we managed to create several completely new and satisfying projects.
- Research
- I like CMF products created by Nothing designers. They break the boring and practical design style of Apple and Google by offering products that are distinguishable. The minimalistic style of Watch PRO corresponds well with the design principles of TTMM. During the creation, I focused on inventing abstract representations of the time and taking care of the user decoding process. Once you understand the principle of time presentation, the designs are easy to read. So TTMM watch faces are little pieces of art.
- Inspiration
- The reason for creating the TTMM is Everything collection is the appearance on the market a distinguish smartwatch designed by Nothing. The clean design of the CMF device encouraged me to create minimalistic designs that would complement the Watch PRO device well. The inspiration for this collection is the unique thinking contained in the award-winning designs of the faces of time created by TTMM.
- Project Duration
- The project started in January 2024 and finished in February 2024 in Warsaw, Poland.
- Operation Flow
