The Halograph Automatic Designer Wrist Watch by XERIC

For those who prefer a mechanical movement over a quartz one, the Halograph Automatic is ideal. Its “Halo Hands” encircle rather than point at the time, which is shown on a series of elliptical displays. It’s a refreshing take on the traditional circular display, one that’s both easily legible and fascinating to look at. It also comes in a number of different colors from silver, to navy to gold.


Time & Space: Zero Gravity Watch by i3 Lab

Time & Space: Zero Gravity Watch by i3 Lab

The design behind Time & Space takes its inspiration from the stars. This timepiece is concerned with the suspension of time and space in a zero gravity state. The dial plate is a photograph of a full moon taken in Nantes of western France and the watch hands shift in position constantly to give the appearance of floating in the moonlight. In the dark, the dial glows which adds a feeling of disconnection and free fall through space.

One of the more macabre wristwatches on the designer watch market. The Last Laugh ditches the traditional hour and minute hands. Instead the time is displayed on the teeth of a skull which cover the face dial. It’s an eerie timepiece intended to remind the wearer that life is short and (more importantly) that they should enjoy every minute of it.

One of the most minimal watches out there right now. The Ora Lattea has neither minute nor hour hands.
