Superior Watch : Decode to Read The Time

Getting bored with the traditional watch ? Perhaps “Superior”, ultramodern minimalist watch can brighten your day. Superior watch is a conceptual custom made watch to fit its owner arm. This watch tells time by decoding the two rows of flush cut diamonds. The top row is for the hours and the bottom row is for the minuets. To find the hour, multiply all the unlit diamonds that come before the lit one’s by two and then you add that number to the lit ones. Superior is made from tungsten carbide with either a polished finish or a polished titanium carbide coating over the tungsten carbide, that is why it’s called “The Superior”. This watch is impractical to some people, but probably cool watch for geeks.

Louis Vuitton Tambour Mysterieuse Luxury Watch

Louis Vuitton’s Tambour watch collection has enhanced with the adjoin of the Tambour Mysterieuse, a watch made of luxury gold and steel, but still in the immediately recognizable tambour drum outline, this completely mechanical watch deals in the horological magic stuff. Calibre LV115 is another addition in this series which has been developed, created and assembled in the workshop of this brand in Switzerland. This exceptional piece can reserve 8-day power and there is nothing redundant about the mechanical movement and healthiness stands in bleak contrast to its ephemeral nature. The hour and minute indicators generally placed on completely transparent mobile sapphire discs.


[Press Release]

Inspired by the brilliant inventions of Jean-Eugene Robert-Houdin in the 19th century, the Tambour Mystérieuse embodies peerless watchmaking genius: with the finesse of a conjurer, this Louis Vuitton montre à complication somehow completely conceals its own mechanism. The hands hover on an astounding system of transparent sapphire discs; no trace of the watchworks is detectable by the eye. Prowess beyond compare, causing time to float as if by some other-worldly bewitchment.

This is a first in the luggage master’s history: a timepiece entirely created, developed, and assembled in the Louis Vuitton watch-making workshops in Switzerland. Perpetuating the prestigious institution of traditional craftsmanship, every element of the calibre “LV115” is rigorously handmade, a technical masterpiece of 115 components. The unprecedented power reserve, too, stands as testament to pure watchcraft virtuosity: 8 days – 8 hours. A tip of the hat to this lucky number, this timeless talisman. Three models have materialized: the first, a resolutely technical creation of clean, minimal lines; the second is classic, sophisticated, accented in brown or gray; the third, a supremely feminine model radiating an aura of jewelled artistry. Though such a triptych may cast the semblance of a silhouette, only the owner of the Tambour Mystérieuse holds the key to the true identity of the timepiece. For, to ensure each Tambour is unique in the world, Louis Vuitton provides a thousand and one ways to claim it as one’s very own.

From a vast spectrum of possibilities, each personality summons its own reflection; yellow, white, or red gold or platinum…diamonds, rubies, or sapphires…brilliant or baguette cut… Reminiscent of a conductor nightly bringing forth a new symphonic spectacle with his baton, the owner of the Tambour Mystérieuse weaves a myriad of choices into an original composition, in which sameness and conformity shall never hold a place. And for the ultimate chic, the watch’s oscillating rotor can be inlaid with one’s own initials, golden marquetry on an unseen sapphire heart. It is far from a mere accessory; the Tambour Mystérieuse is the very breath of a lifestyle.

Lastly, as homage to such extraordinary watchcraft, Louis Vuitton has conjured a case that itself is pure originality: a genuine trunk, prepared exclusively for the Tambour Mystérieuse in the historic Louis Vuitton workshops in Asnières. All the traditional practices are honoured in its making, every standard that has meant the longstanding success of the brand. This tiny treasure chest can also be personalized, from the choice of leathers to the lining’s colour; even the legendary LV lock, with a wave of the wand, can have a number matching that of other luggage pieces brought to life by their Monogram maker.

It is a passion for excellence that has drawn such acclaim for Louis Vuitton in the very exclusive world of fine watch-making. Only an elite few – chronometer connoisseurs and luxury timepiece aficionados – will capture the magic, the exceptional savoir-faire of the Tambour Mystérieuse.

Koko Muo : The Other Way Of Creating An Analog Watch

Maybe you think that only TokyoFlash company designs the most incredible watches, but the truth is that this “analog” watch created by a spanish designer is a really nice piece of design. Far from other weird designs looking for extravagant, weird and complicated ways of showing the time, the Koko Muo show the time in an alternative plain and elegant way and it’s made entirely in titanium. The outer ring displays the minutes in a semicircle and the inner ring displays the hours with a broader semicircle that also shows the a.m. hours with a different color from the p.m. hours. In short, a simple and stylish watch that resembles a bit the speedometers of the sport cars and offers you a unique way of checking time in an “analog” watch without giving you headaches.


Mechanized Digital Brings The Face Of The Watch To Life Creating An Element Of Surprise

All the watch craftsmen nowadays try to amaze customers by creating watches with different moving parts, new displays and more luxurious elements than before, but we know that something has to change. The change comes in the new watch concept created by Carl Allen. He didn’t change the shape of the watch, he changed the content and the way it displays the time. He named his concept as Mechanized Digital. The simple design, the contemporary shape we are all used to and the beautiful way all these elements are linked together, impress, but the face of the watch creates the element of surprise. The face of the watch is composed of digits, each digit is composed of seven panels. The element of surprise is by taking a traditional feature of a watch, the digital face and manipulating it to function in a non traditional way, in this case the face is able to change its shape.

To create digits on the face of the watch, the panels recess, revealing contrasting sidewalls, which create the outline of a digit. Thus a surprise is created by manipulating something that is traditionally immobile to physically move. The watch comes in 2 different models, a rectangle shaped wrist watch, showing large numbers just as a digital watch and a circle shaped wrist watch that has been designed as an analog. The face of the watch consists of the same layout of panels. In the analog watch, the minutes are displayed in the center of the watch, the hours are in the same layout of a traditional watch, consisting of the same recessing panels. The right side of the watch has a light button, the light comes in different colours to match the users style.

The Mechanized Digital watch truly is amazing regarding the use of components, time display, simplicity and design. I really hope it will hit the market one day, this would definitely open new frontiers in watch design. The designer, Carl Allen, used his imagination, his creativity, and his design knowledge to create a masterpiece which shows that the ability of the human brain to create something better, is endless.



TokyoFlash Wavelength Watch

TokyoFlash came up with a new interesting watch concept. I think it’s a little bit difficult to read the hours, you need some time to get used to it. The hours are displayed in digits as empty spaces at the center of the display. The minutes are shown by those blocks surrounding the digits, there are small markings to help you read it easier. There are 2 buttons on the watch, top and bottom. The light up function is activated when you press one of them and the other one is to setup the time. Pretty simple, yet pretty hard to read. Would you buy this product?

Re : Time Of The Sky by Ryohei Yoshiyuki

Beautiful zen like watch design from Japanese designer Ryohei Yoshiyuki. I love the blue soothing color, Ryohei said that his watch design created a small window on one’s arm. You need to push a button on the side of this watch to read the time. The sun or moon’s colors will appear in the sky to indicate the hour. If you needed to know precise time of the day, then this watch might not be suitable for you.
