Acetate is the high-gloss material used to make glasses and other wearables. Tokyoflash has taken the material to interesting new heights with the Kisai RPM, releasing multiple versions of their “handmade” watch for $159. The links, case, and buttons are all hand finished and assembled and the odd limited edition colors look pretty darn cool.
The latest concept wristwatch to draw my attention is the concept 3D Unlimited timepiece. The unique timepiece uses OEL panel to display the time. The 3D effect is created by a lenticular lens above the interface that creates the illusion of depth. Time is displayed by simple digits on the 3D cube below the lens. But the best part is that the wearer is not required to wear 3D glasses to view the time from this unique watch!
‘Vue’ is a brilliant timepiece designed by Yves Behar / Fuse Project with Japanese fashion designer Issey Miyake. The idea of this stunning watch is to have the wearer experience the mystery of time, hour by hour. It shows us the appearance and disappearance of time, by only showing the current hour, while the last hour and future hour subtly fade in and out, through the rotation of an inner circle. I’m absolutely mesmerized by the simple yet fantastic watch. The white design is really classy.
The Bell & Ross Red Radar watch is designed to resemble radar screens, in air traffic control towers, submarines and other military vehicles. The watch uses a disc system mounted to a traditional ETA movement to create a completely unique look. The Bell & Ross Red Radar watch is currently available for $5500 with a limited run of 999 pieces.
Mhin documents time with ambiguity so as to compliment the relaxing atmosphere of the home and aid your free time. In giving a vague approximation (~) of time, Mhin contrasts the specificity and scheduling associated with our daily lives. The unrelenting tick-tock and minute by minute progression is replaced by absolute silence and a slow consistent linear motion. Video after the jump!
