# Playful Pliable Timepieces The JCDC Gummy Me!!! Watch is Shaped Like a Rabbit By Meghan Young | Published 2011-08-06 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jcdc-gummy-me-watch References: [thetrendygirl.net](http://www.thetrendygirl.net/2011/08/jcdc-rabbit-pophours-watches-gummy-me.html) & [odmshop](https://www.odmshop.com/online/collection_details.php?pid=47&id=255) In an era that adores [anime characters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ufo-robot-grendizer) and Kid Robot toys, the JCDC Gummy Me!!! watch will surely appeal to many (or at least to the slew of hipster individuals out there). Taking the form of one particularly bendy rabbit (or perhaps a bear?), this watch is quirky, playful and full of fun character. Designed by none other than Jean-Charles De Castelbajac, the form of the JCDC Gummy Me!!! watch has actually popped up quite recently as mannequins in his fashion shop. Made out of flexible silicone, it wraps comfortably around the wrist, more like a [bangle than an actual timepiece](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casio-crw0011jr). Its true purpose is made even more dubious since the time is told through the eyes, which glow in the dark as well. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 44% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% 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) > [Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/watches) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Flexible Timepieces:** Advancements in flexible materials may allow for more comfortable and creative watch designs. - **Character-inspired Watches:** Incorporating beloved characters into watch designs may appeal to younger and trend-conscious consumers. - **Alternative Time-telling Methods:** Experimentation with nontraditional ways of displaying time may lead to unique and captivating watch designs. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Collaborations between fashion designers and watchmakers may result in playful and unconventional timepiece designs. - **Toy:** Brands that specialize in character-inspired merchandise, such as Kid Robot, may consider entering the watch market to appeal to their fan base. - **Materials Science:** Research and development of flexible materials, such as silicone, may have applications in the fashion and watch industries for the creation of more comfortable and unique products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Whimsical Regulator Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unfrogettable.md) - [Luxury Cartoon Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spinnaker-fleuss-chronograph-spongebob-squarepants-eyedial.md) - [Playful Cartoon-Forward Watch Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peanuts-worldwide.md) - [Animated Artist-Designed Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asterisk-watches-happiness-is-fleeting.md) - [Alien-Like Watch Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gav01-series.md) - [Collaborative Bright Tonal Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/time-for-fun.md) - [Gummy Candy-Inspired Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jelly-collection.md) - [Adorable Versatile Collaborative Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/babyg-bgd10k.md) - [Bronzed Statue-Inspired Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swatch-vick-bronze-by-verdy.md)
