# Beveled Retro Wristwatches The Casio E Series Concept Watch Has Throwback Rectangularity with Edge By Amelia Roblin | Published 2014-10-08 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casio-e-series-concept-watch References: [tuvie](http://www.tuvie.com/casio-e-series-dress-concept-watch-by-arvid-roach/) & [arvidroach.tumblr](http://arvidroach.tumblr.com/post/88726240078/casio-e-series-concept-side-profile) Looking at the Casio E Series Concept Watch, you might find it difficult to tell if it's an old model that was ahead of its time, or a new accessory that references a retro aesthetic. The latter would be the correct assumption of Arvid Roach's proposal for the iconic timepiece company. There is a rectilinearity about this e-ink chronograph that may bring you back to your old digital watch; however, cropped corners and a very slim profile give it modern interest. What's more, the face of the Casio E Series Concept Watch is stepped into two levels, providing you with function buttons across its middle. The unique steel-cased chronometer is complemented by a beveled band of embossed white leather. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 62% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Retro-inspired Wristwatches:** Embrace the nostalgia of retro design with timepieces that blend vintage aesthetics with modern features. - **Slim Profile Watches:** Discover sleek and lightweight watches that offer a minimalist look without compromising functionality. - **Stepped Face Chronographs:** Experience innovative timepieces with multi-level faces that provide easy access to function buttons. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Accessories:** Explore opportunities in the fashion industry by creating retro-inspired wristwatches that appeal to nostalgic consumers. - **Consumer Electronics:** Innovate in the consumer electronics field by manufacturing slim profile watches that cater to individuals seeking minimalist yet functional timekeeping devices. - **Luxury Goods:** Identify disruptive innovation opportunities in the luxury goods market by designing stepped face chronographs that offer unique and stylish features. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Rad Retro-Style Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retrofuture-wrist-tech.md) - [Origami-Inspired Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casio-31.md) - [Retro-Futurism Smartwatch Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/justwatch.md) - [Minimal Stealthy Digital Wristwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dw5000r.md) - [Gold-Tonal Ring Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crw001g9jr.md) - [Nostalgic Digital Watch Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casio-gshock-dw5000r.md) - [Structural Metal-Made Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casio-gsteel-modern-industrial-series.md) - [Descriptive Wearable Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pebble-time-2.md) - [Alien-Like Watch Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gav01-series.md)
