Galaxy-Inspired Chronographs

Watch Lovers Will Gravitate Towards the Orbit Watch

— June 12, 2011 — Fashion
I think outer space is the most visually stunning thing known to mankind, which is probably why I want this Orbit watch so badly. Inspired by our very own galaxy, the Orbit watch is designed by the Hong Kong firm Ziiro and it replaces traditional clock hands with orbiting planets.

The Orbit watch comes in four color varieties: blue, yellow, black and white. The strap of the watch is made from silicone and the watch latches onto your wrist automatically -- no fastening required. Not only does the watch ooze style, but its simple aesthetic really evokes space-age technology and makes me reminisce of days when all I wanted to do was become a space explorer when I grew up.

You can get your own Orbit watch at the Dezeen Watchstore for $166.59.

3. Silicone Strap Technology - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing advanced strap technologies, like automatic wrist latching, that improve comfort and convenience for watch wearers.
Industry Implications

3. Online Retail - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating online platforms that offer a curated collection of niche and unique watches, like the Orbit watch, to cater to the growing consumer demand for distinctive and limited-edition timepieces.
