# Bespoke Mechanical Timepieces The JW-EX Timepiece Highlights Analog Components By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2019-07-05 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jwex-timepiece References: [yankodesign](https://www.yankodesign.com/2019/07/04/the-jw-ex-watch-is-sheer-mechanical-joy-for-the-analog-lover/) & [jason.watch](https://www.jason.watch/) The JW-EX timepiece is a premium accessory for watch enthusiasts that aims to place analog components on display, which goes in a somewhat different direction compared to the rest of the market. While other watch makers boast of connected functionalities, the JW-EX highlights a bespoke aesthetic that has an analog design to keep time in a modern yet traditional way. The unorthodox face of the timepiece has a series of dials visible through two windows that allow an immersive view into the accessory for curious wearers to appreciate each time they check it. The JW-EX timepiece is the design work of Jason Chan of [Jason Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/native-shoes-x-jason-wess-waverly) and features the specialized JW-7100 custom movement within that's supported by an 80 hour power reserve. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 85% | Activity: 68% | Freshness: 8% - 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 - **Analog Timepiece Trend:** Opportunity for watch makers to create analog timepieces that highlight traditional aesthetics and analogue components. - **Bespoke Design Trend:** Opportunity to cater to niche market of watch enthusiasts seeking unique and customized timepiece designs. - **Immersive Viewing Trend:** Opportunity to create timepieces with windows and dials that provide an immersive and interactive experience for wearers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Luxury Watch Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to create bespoke mechanical timepieces that appeal to luxury watch enthusiasts. - **Custom Watch Industry:** Opportunity for companies specializing in custom watch designs to incorporate unique analog features and components. - **High-end Accessory Industry:** Opportunity for high-end accessory brands to expand their product offerings by introducing unique and immersive timepieces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Handcrafted Mechanical Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handcrafted-mechanical-timepieces.md) - [Luxe Joystick Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-hole-tourbillon.md) - [Refined Watch Debuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/temporal-works.md) - [Angular Automobile-Inspired Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/benly-design-s3000-cyber-watch.md) - [Autonomous Solar-Powered Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exoskeleton-solar-watches.md) - [Retro-Futurism Smartwatch Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/justwatch.md) - [Futuristic Timepiece Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gen10.md) - [Celestial Artful Premium Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reverso-timepieces.md) - [Whimsical Moonphase-Inspired Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calibre-jj04.md)
