The Time & Space watch focuses on two concepts that often go hand-in-hand. Although it is shaped like a traditional timepiece, the design has been tweaked subtly to give the impression that time has somehow been suspended.
The face of the Time & Space watch features a picture of a full moon, which was taken by astrophotographer Norbert in Nantes, France. Although this alone sets a cosmic tone for the timepiece, the design is take a step further with the odd placement of the hands. As though in a state of zero gravity, the hands appear to be floating at odd angles. Nevertheless, they continue to point out the time accurately, even if it is in a more surreal manner. The face also glows in the dark.
