McKay Watches were invented by Chris McKay. The original idea came to Chris when he had dinner with two gentlemen in Hong Kong who had lost their reading glasses and couldn’t read the menu – or the check. The next day Chris was riding the train and saw a guy looking at a stone through a jewelers loop. The light flashed off his watch dial and he thought “he already has a lens” and the journey began.

How the Watch Works Any old watch can tell time. The iBeam watch also can magnify what you’re reading and send out a helpful stream of light. Press a little button at the top right side of the watch, and a tiny LED spotlight illuminates a menu, keyhole or the way ahead if you aim your wrist just right. (The light shuts off automatically after 30 seconds.)Press a button at the bottom right, and a three-times magnifying lens pops up from the watch face. The watch comes in analog or digital models, with a leather or metal band, in men’s and women’s styles.

Technology Used McKay Watches use iBeam technology. The watches sold have a built-in LED flashlight and a 3X magnifying lens.
