100 Funky Timepieces

From Heath Detecting Watches to Luxurious Time Tellers

— June 13, 2009 — Fashion
Watches are a timeless accessory that also serve a necessary purpose. Timepieces have moved on from traditional looks to become a big part of the fashion world.

Check out the slideshow below for everything from faceless watches to luxurious designer time tellers and multi-functional timepieces.

Implications - Since personal gadgets are devices are commonplace, the need for a watch has virtually been eliminated; however, fashion-lovers and fans of more vintage innovations continue to wear chronographs. This is because of the novelty and romanticism associated with the analogue technology of a watch. Ultimately, this appreciation stretches beyond watches and into other industries, advising companies to never ignore the past.
