# Resilience-Themed Timepieces The Claro PRC Watch Pays Homage to the Fight Against COVID-19 By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2020-05-27 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/claro-prc References: [thegadgetflow](https://thegadgetflow.com/portfolio/prc-timepiece/) & [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/clarowatch/power-of-resilience-claro-a-new-way-of-telling-time?ref=1gqp58&utm_source=GadgetFlow&utm_campaign=GadgetFlow) The COVID-19 pandemic has seen consumers do their part to fight against the virus and stop the spread, which is something the Claro PRC watch aims to pay homage to. The timepiece is designed differently than [conventional watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/honor-watch) by highlighting a partially obstructed dial that has a red line extended across the remaining other half. This acts as the indicator for the time wheels in the dial, while also pointing to the phrase "WHO Knows" as a reminder of the organization. The Claro PRC watch is powered by a [Swiss-made CL-888 Ronda 5050 movement](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/classivo-43) and features a 316L stainless steel case that's finished with a double-domed crystal. The watch comes with either [sapphire or K1 crystal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pegasus-sapphire) options to ensure optimal clarity. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 25% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## 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 - **Resilience-themed Accessories:** Opportunity to create more accessories that pay homage to significant events and social organizations that promote resilience. - **Obstructed Dial Timepieces:** Opportunity to manufacture timepieces with obstructed dials that offer unique indicators or messaging, thereby standing out from conventional watches. - **Crystal Options for Clarity:** Opportunity to manufacture watches with different crystal options to cater to varying consumer preferences and ensure optimal clarity. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Accessories:** Opportunity for accessory designers to create unique products that represent significant events and promote societal causes. - **Watch Manufacturing:** Opportunity to manufacture watches with unique features and messaging that tell stories beyond just tracking time. - **Crystal Manufacturing:** Opportunity to manufacture crystals for watches that cater to specific consumer preferences and ensure optimal clarity. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Symbolic Pink-Segmented Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/together-in-pink-collection.md) - [Celebratory Celestial Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gshock-gcwb5000un-carbon-edition.md) - [Feminine Lavender-Hued Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casio-gshock-gmap2125w6a.md) - [LGBTQ+-Celebrating Luxe Watch Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/worn-with-pride.md) - [Stress-Reducing Screenless Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nowatch.md) - [Material Memory Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/normandie-1944.md) - [Minimalist Concave Dial Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aera-p1-pilot-watch.md) - [Accessible Mechanical Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/classivo-43.md) - [Color-Centric Collaborative Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/defy-skyline-tourbillon-felipe-pantone.md)
