 Cutting edge designer Shunji Yamanaka has worked with a wide range of materials and products. He’s a master of design elements and this new men’s watch is no exception. The Ovo has a spherical body strong enough to withstand the elements while maintaining the minimilast form. The dial appears to be fluid, and the hands aren’t anchored to the center of the dial. It’s an effect you have to see to understand. A handsome watch with a stainless steel case and luminous dial, it’s waterproof to 100 metres.

You can even forecast the exact time of the summer and winter solstices. Check it against the analog watch that’s set into the reverse side of the watch. (not shown)
