# Window Pane Watches Hamilton Time Player Changes the Face of Watch Design By Ryan Hinkson | Published 2010-03-20 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hamilton-time-player References: [luxuo](http://www.luxuo.com/watches/hamilton-time-player.html) & [acquiremag](http://www.acquiremag.com/style/watches/hamilton-time-player.php) [Hamilton](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hamilton-x-dune-part-two-ventura) is one of the most respected and trusted watch makers of our time. Now normally the most trusted and respected companies play the straight and narrow when it comes to design. But Hamilton's window pane-like Time Player watch is far from a traditional timepiece. The [limited edition watch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-hamilton-resident-evil-requiem) has a face that is divided into [9 movable squares](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nivada-grenchen-timepieces). Some indicating locales and the others are individual time-telling watch dials. This watch is way ahead of its time. It's design actually has its roots in a clock that Hamilton created for Stanley Kubrick's film '2001: A Space Odyssey'. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 75% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Movable Square Faces:** The trend of watches with faces divided into movable squares presents an opportunity for innovative timepiece designs. - **Localization Indicators:** The trend of watches indicating different locales on their faces opens up possibilities for personalized and location-specific timepieces. - **Film-inspired Designs:** The trend of creating watches with design roots in iconic films offers an opportunity for unique and nostalgic timepiece creations. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Watch Manufacturing:** The watch manufacturing industry can explore disruptive innovations by incorporating movable square faces into their product lineup. - **Personalized Accessories:** The personalized accessories industry can capitalize on the trend of localization indicators in watches to offer customized and location-specific timepieces. - **Film Merchandise:** The film merchandise industry can tap into the trend of film-inspired watch designs to create collectible timepieces for movie enthusiasts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Epic Otherworldly Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hamilton-x-dune-part-two-ventura.md) - [Power-Indicating Field Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hamilton-khaki-field-mechanical-power-reserve.md) - [Next-Gen Pocket Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arsham-droplet.md) - [Open-Concept Retro-Style Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amida-digitrend-open-sapphire.md) - [Game-Inspired Limited Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-hamilton-resident-evil-requiem.md) - [Playful Dress Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toccata.md) - [Posh Pilot Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hamilton-khaki-aviation-pilot-collection.md) - [Melting Crystalline Dial Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hublot-mp17-meca10.md) - [Motorsports-Honoring Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hamilton-american-classic-intramatic-chronograph-h.md)
