Designer Jaime Hayon hails from Spain and he puts together these [elegant timepiece designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/temporal-works) that cleverly incorporate the [adorable face of a monkey](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mr-jones-watches-feline-fine) in the centre of the face. However wearers have to look closely to see the face made out of the various circular gears located in the centtre.

These watches are made by Hayon for the brand Orolog and they are a [limited edition product](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grow-your-dreams). The watches feature a large square face complete with a wide brim and a diagonal design. In the centre are three different gears, two above that form the chimp's eyes and one below that forms the mouth. The watch comes in a variety of metallic hues including silver, rose gold and black.
