The Concrete Sector watch has been created by the Taiwan-based 22 Design Studio as an architecturally inspired accessory that will call to mind of the achievements from urban areas within the country. The minimalist watch features a dial that is crafted from real concrete that has been accented by a series of structured 3D grooves cut into 60 equal parts with 12 radial indentations. This plays with shadow to create a sense of visual intrigue for wearers to appreciate every time they check the time.
The Concrete Sector watch is powered by a Swiss Sellita SW200-1 automatic winding movement within along with a 38 hour power reserve to boot. The case is crafted from 316L medical grade stainless steel to highlight a rigid construction.
