The ARAGON Watch brand offers a stylish model aeroplane chronograph called the 'Jet Clock' that is designed to sit on a flat surface and display the time with two dapper quartz dials. The dials are located in the aeroplane's jet engines to create a seamless integration of a watch within the toy model.
The 'Jet Clock' is a moveable timepiece that replicates the motions of a soaring plane with subtle up and down motions. The aircraft is a three dimensional replica of a standard airplane comprise of metal and detailed embellishments to create a realistic interpretation of the larger-scale jets. The watches are located inside the model plane's engines and can be set to two different time zones for avid travellers.
