Minimalist Watch Design Seems Functional, too - Zero Watch

Post by BrettA » Mon Mar 15, 2010 11:20 am

I'm often not fond of watches without hands or digits, but this seems workable in mimicking hand position. And given that it's just a display, there could also be options for hour and/or minute marks if one wanted 'em, or even hands or digits as a separate presentation:

That would look great as a wall clock . Needs a spiral in the middle IMHO,maybe a second hand too.

It seems quite more workable that the binary watches. Image

Want (the OP watch that is. That other thing looks like something a robot would design).

Or a prop from a cheap Sci-fi like Star-Treck.

That is a beautiful timepiece. Do you think that a pocket version will be made?

pretty, but me I'll just stick to digital watches... so much more pleasant than hand watches.

Not really, though a bit tech flashy, and I guess it would take some kind of savant autist to actually use it as a watch rather than just as jewelry.
