# Simplistic Skeletal Watches Bones Timepieces Reflect a Playfulness in the Body's Support System By Elise Ying-Hei Ho | Published 2012-12-17 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bones-timepieces References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2012/12/14/for-the-archaeologist-within/) & [antoinepasdeloup.fr](http://www.antoinepasdeloup.fr/) Like the bones in the human body, these one-of-a-kind Bones timepieces focuses on the ivory color and patterns of the internal skeletal structure. The watch designed by Antoine Pasdeloup is definitely a coveted timepiece. Using a white ceramic shell that encases the light wooden base, the 'bones' emanate a playfulness that typical adult watches don't. The beautiful striations of the wood peeks though the exposed ceramic. Inspired by the camouflaged support that bones provide for the body, the ceramic pieces provide stability and connect the pieces of the watch together. The lime green dial rotates around the Bones timepieces, bringing the user's attention to the numberless face, which is replaced my a series of incrementally larger dots of the same color. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 33% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/watches) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Ivory-inspired Designs:** Opportunity for creating products that incorporate the aesthetic of ivory color and patterns. - **Playful Adult Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to design adult accessories that have a playful and unique appeal. - **Creative Use of Materials:** Innovation potential in using unconventional materials, like ceramic and wood, to create visually appealing products. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Accessories:** Market for unique and playful adult accessories, such as skeletal watches. - **Home Decor:** Opportunity to incorporate ivory-inspired designs and creative use of materials in home decor products. - **Product Design:** Market for creative design solutions that use unconventional materials and incorporate unique aesthetics. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Industrial Skeletal Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bell-ross-br03-skeleton.md) - [Egyptian Mysticism Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ciga-design-x-series-eye-of-horus.md) - [Skeleton Dial Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/5-sports-bamford.md) - [Haute Jewelry-Like Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/piaget-altiplano-skeleton-mtiers-dart.md) - [Golden Automatic Self-Winding Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gold-skeleton-watch.md) - [Matte Black Ceramic Wristwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/br-03-cyber-ceramic.md) - [Brutalist-Inspired Sleek Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/b1.md) - [Intentionally Cracked Crystal Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bell-ross-br05-skeleton-arctic-blue.md) - [Sleek Magnetic Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triarch.md)
