Solar System Timepieces

Mr. Jones Satellite Watch is One of the First 24-Hour Dial Pieces

— November 9, 2012 — Fashion
Learning to tell time may be difficult for a few, but the Mr. Jones Satellite watch will definitely confuse everyone.

According to Uber Gizmo, this watch is considered to be one of the first 24-hour watches yet. The face of the watch is blank, void of all numerals, just like it is in space. Mimicking the orbiting solar system, the rotation of the planets on the face represent a different time of day for 24-hours. This means that one complete cycle on the watch is equivalent to one rotation of the Earth around the sun.

Understanding the complexity and unconventional aspects of the design, the creators provide a pictorial chart, reteaching users how to tell time to eliminate potential confusion. Only 100 of the limited edition Mr. Jones Satellite watches will be sold.
Trend Themes
1. 24-hour Watches - The popularity of watches with a 24-hour dial could lead to new designs and features in the watch industry.
2. Planetary Timepieces - More companies may explore the use of planetary rotations to tell time, introducing innovative designs in the watch industry.
3. Reimagining Time-telling - The Mr. Jones Satellite watch's unique design could inspire other companies to reimagine how we tell time and create disruptive innovation opportunities in multiple industries.
Industry Implications
1. Watchmaking - The Mr. Jones Satellite Watch could inspire the watch industry to experiment with unique designs, features, and technology, leading to disruptive innovation opportunities.
2. Fashion - The design and limited availability of the Mr. Jones Satellite Watch could create a new trend in fashion accessories, influencing the industry to focus on unique designs rather than mass production.
3. Education - The confusion caused by the Mr. Jones Satellite Watch's unique design could inspire new teaching methods for time-telling, leading to disruptive innovation opportunities in the education industry.
