Not long ago we were speaking about how items, such as the glasses, can contribute to completing ones image and be more than just a fashionable accessory. Today we want to speak about another type of item who has similar characteristics, as it was created to meet a practical need and became quickly a fashion accessory and an interesting subject of research for many designers: the watch.
The first model of watch, for example, designed by Martin Larsen for the Danish Design brand, has been awarded in 2008 with the Red Dot for its good design.‘’This innovative range of watches follows the tradition of Danish design and is an expression of a modern stylistic language. The intention is to refine Danish design in these watches and to create simple but sculptural timekeepers. Mainly strict forms, as can be found in geometry, inspired the designer Martin Larsen. Another incentive was the search for the "essential" in the structures and the materials used.’’(http:/ /www.danishdesignwatches.eu/index.php_)
For us, is just a great, minimalistic design, that somehow manages to capture in simple lines and gestures the essence of a traditional watch: rounded shapes, simple dots instead of numbers and just a drop of red for the seconds’ hand.
A bit less conventional, the other models are just as great.We love the simplicity and yet their sculptural and innovative aspect by drawing ‘’the time with strict irrationality breaking up once again the rules of the traditional reading of the time..’’(http://www.dezeen.com/2010/04/07/time-lines-by-denis-guidone-for-nava/ ) or by pointing out the hour with three simple dots.

And finally, for more futuristic tastes, the bracelet watch by Djordje Zivanovic.‘’The idea for this watch is classic plastic bracelet, with incorporated lines inside the watch that show the current time. Those three line are rotating around the watch and show the time, while the seconds line is going around all the time. One line for hour,second for minute and third for seconds,and three different colors for every lines. It`s simple concept, attractive and eye catching. ’’ (Djordje Zivanovic ,http://www.behance.net/Gallery/ORB-Bracelet-Watch/88527 )
