More cool watch design
30th May 2009
You might remember a put together a list of cool watch design at the tail-end of 2007? Well, here's another selection.
I'm still into rubber (housing and straps) and square faces. I'm happy with either digital or analogue but the most important element is the colour: it has to be bright and cheerful.
Asteroids watch - subtle and oh so cool
Bell and Ross BR 01 Airborne - amazing glow-in-the-dark skull design from Bell & Ross. Originally found here.
Casio Databank Watch - completely geeky and old skool, and I love the bright colours
Ikepod Solaris - nice looking face, the fabric strap is the only thing that puts me off
The Rubber Player by Nixon - beautiful rubber strap and housing using the the iconic Player design. Unfortunately, very limited edition, thus sold out already!
Nooka Zon - nice square face and rather unusual design with it being offset from the strap
Uni Wrist Watch - very cool idea where the display can alternate between different styles. I love the simple pixelated display
The Shark watches from Freestyle are bright, colourful, simple and affordable... perfect!
TAG Heuer Monaco Twenty Four Concept Chronograph - in honour of the Le Mans race, this beautiful, top quality watch is just far too expensive (several thousand pounds).
Baby-G - I've actually got a Baby-G identical to this one except the colour. My old one (from about 1997) originally had a transparent strap but after years of sweat it's turned yellow! Anyway, I really like this black and pink combo!
Phosphor Digital Hour Clock - amazing design concept (and realisation - $185 USD) using E Ink (electronic paper) for the display.
Nixon Lodown - sharp and colourful
Welder watch - nice black and red combo but the chunky knobs at the side are a bit of a put off
Cuckoo watch - it's got the colour but is perhaps a bit too quirky
Make your own stitched watch - it'll be accurate twice a day at least
