Astral Orbiting Timepieces

Spacetime Watch Features Raised Spots That Revolve to Indicate the Hour

— February 26, 2014 — Art & Design
The creator of the Spacetime Watch concept was inspired by how Earth's orbit around the sun has influenced the way that humans have come to break down and experience time. With daily and yearly revolutions in mind, Daniel Salisbury came up with a design that turns your typical hour and minute hands into star- and planet-like points.

Three small spheres that represent seconds, minutes and hours would be installed within the dial of the astronomical chronograph. These would be raised above the rest of the mechanical components and create little tactile bumps in the malleable TPE over-mold surface of the wristwatch. The soft and white skin of the Spacetime Watch gives it a futuristic look that's still timeless and easy to read with the eyes and the fingertips.
Trend Themes
1. Spacetime Watch Concept - The Spacetime Watch concept innovatively transforms traditional hour and minute hands into celestial-inspired points.
2. Astronomical Chronograph - The use of small spheres to represent seconds, minutes, and hours in the astronomical chronograph creates a unique and eye-catching timepiece.
3. Tactile Timekeeping - The incorporation of tactile bumps on the wristwatch's surface allows for an innovative and intuitive reading of time with the fingertips.
Industry Implications
1. Watchmaking - The watchmaking industry can explore the Spacetime Watch concept to introduce novel designs that merge aesthetics with celestial elements.
2. Fashion Accessories - The fashion accessories industry can leverage the futuristic and timeless look of the Spacetime Watch to create statement pieces for consumers.
3. Product Design - Product designers can draw inspiration from the Spacetime Watch's tactile timekeeping feature to enhance the user experience in various other products.
