Anthony Puelo has designed what may be the [most literal watch of all time](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arrowatch). Puelo's Nooka [concept watch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/watch-concept-1) is [sleek and minimalist](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/azazel), telling the time and date in a straightforward fashion. The watch is digital and displays the time up top and the date down below.

Puelo's concept is boxy, smooth and sharp, features ubiquitous among Nooka designs. The timepiece comes in black and silver, with the silver being the sharper of the two if you ask me. Currently the watch is still a concept, but it would be awesome to see Nooka take Anthony Puelo's design and run with it. It isn't a stretch of the imagination to envision this design in Nooka's online store as-is.
