With most people relying on their mobile phones to tell the time, designers are coming up with creative, fashionable watch designs that try to bring the watch back into your lifestyle as a fashion accessory.
The Orb Bracelet Watch is a unique take on traditional watch design with a modern and futuristic sensibility. The watch comes in two basic colors - black and white. But you can change the time lines' color using the provided software, making it a true fashion accessory.
Three lines flow around the watch, with each line displaying a time unit: hours, minutes and seconds. A gemstone on the side which works on finger touch can be used for time adjustment and settings.
The bracelet watch is an entry at the Signity Watch Design Contest 2008, and is designed by young Serbian designer Djordjie Zivanovic (Djo).
