# Intentionally Pared Down Timepieces The Automatically Slow Watch Stops You from Counting Minutes By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2017-08-17 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/automatically-slow-watch References: [theawesomer](https://theawesomer.com/automatically-slow-watch/440330/) & [automatically-slow](http://automatically-slow.com/en/) It can be easy to get lost in your schedule and find yourself counting every second, so the Automatically Slow Watch is intended to provide you with a way to focus more on life as you live it. The timepiece works like any other by keeping time, but does away with the multiple hands that are present on other watches and replaces them with a single arm. This means that you will only have a rough idea of the time rather than an exact notion, which will help you to take time to relax and focus only on the hours rather than the minutes and seconds. The Automatically Slow Watch features a demure aesthetic and comes in several color options to make it suitable for a variety of different styles. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 50% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/watches) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Intentional Minimalism:** Embracing a minimalist approach in product design to promote a more mindful and relaxed lifestyle. - **Time-management Redefined:** Challenging traditional timekeeping methods and encouraging individuals to value experiences over minutes and seconds. - **Simplified Time Perception:** Adopting a single-arm time display to create a less precise, more intuitive experience. ### Who This Affects Most - **Watch and Jewelry:** Exploring innovative designs in the watch industry that prioritize a shift towards minimalism and prioritizing life experiences. - **Wellness and Mindfulness:** Developing products and services that promote a more deliberate and mindful approach to time management and stress reduction. - **Productivity Tools and Apps:** Creating time-tracking solutions that redefine productivity by focusing on prioritizing meaningful moments rather than multitasking. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Half-Hour Timepiece Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arrowatch.md) - [Intentionally Foggy Clock Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kehai-clock.md) - [Meditative Vibrating Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stund-watch.md) - [Minimal Sculptural Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trace-line.md) - [Subtle Lifestyle-Changing Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superlocal-clock.md) - [Stress-Reducing Screenless Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nowatch.md) - [Distraction-Free Meditation Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meditation-clock.md) - [Tape Measurable Time Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/setime-clock.md) - [Tranquil Asymmetrical Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooj-design-masuno-clock.md)
