The Bradley is accessible to everyone, because telling time shouldn’t require sight. With its beautiful form and exceptional function, our tactile timepiece serves to both sighted and visually impaired users equally. Like Brad, we’ve thought outside the box to come up with an innovative solution to a big problem. He has inspired us with his determination, his work ethic, and most importantly, his attitude. Through his actions, Brad is breaking the stereotypes and misconceptions people have towards the blind. ![]() The Bradley is named after former Navy Officer and Paralympic Gold Medalist, Brad Snyder, who lost his vision from an IED explosion in Afghanistan. Even if the ball bearings are displaced when touched, the magnets will move the ball bearings back to the correct time with a gentle shake of the wrist. These two ball bearings are connected with magnets to a watch movement beneath the watch face. Built of solid titanium, time is indicated by two ball bearings: one indicating minutes (top), and one indicating hours (side). Designed in collaboration with the blind, The Bradley allows you to touch and see to check time. The Bradley Timepiece was created to accommodate both sighted and visually impaired users equally. The contemporary wristwatch is an amazing feat of engineering, yet it still relies exclusively on sight. ![]() Please tell me a little bit about Eone.Ī. In the photo: Brad Snyder wearing the Bradley Timepiece and holding his gold medal Inspired by this incredible product and the its great potential to change the way blind people tell time, I contacted Tim to ask further questions about his role with this product and how he became interested in entrepreneurship. Tim’s solution to this problem is The Bradley Timepiece. Stumped by this question, the solution was to ask Siri the time or glance at my phone. A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to meet Tim Fleschner, the director of marketing & communications at Eone Time. ![]()
