# Deconstructed Dial Timepieces The Kyle Dell’Aquila Radian Watch Simplifies Timekeeping By Shiori Mine | Published 2012-07-30 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kyle-dellaquila-radian-watch References: [knstrct](http://knstrct.com/2012/07/30/the-radian-watch/) & [kyledellaquila](http://kyledellaquila.com/) The Kyle Dell’Aquila Radian Watch is designed to deliver a more accessible time-keeping experience compared to the standard [three-dial chronograph](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-timechanger). While a traditional watch features three hands that rotate on the same axis, the Radian Watch disassembles those arms onto separate planes. The result? A deconstructed dial that is easier on the eye due to the increased amount of white space. The [unibody watchband](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/watch-concept-1) eliminates the need for fragile hardware and creates a seamless, eye-catching finish. The adjustable knob has been moved to the back of the dial, allowing the timepiece to maintain its stylish and sleek look. Rhode Island-based designer Kyle Dell’Aquila seeks to create a timepiece that is user-friendly and simplified. The [minimalist accessory](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/azazel) is bound to have a few onlookers staring and passing patrons asking “where did you get that?” ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 45% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Deconstructed Dial Watches:** Opportunity for watch designers and manufacturers to create innovative timepieces with a deconstructed dial design that offers a simplified and user-friendly experience. - **Unibody Watchbands:** Opportunity for watch accessory companies to develop unibody watchbands that eliminate fragile hardware and create a seamless and eye-catching finish. - **Back Dial Knobs:** Opportunity for watch designers to incorporate adjustable knobs at the back of the dial, allowing for a stylish and sleek look with enhanced user experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Watch Design:** Opportunity for watch designers to innovate and create deconstructed dial timepieces that offer a more accessible and user-friendly timekeeping experience. - **Watch Manufacturing:** Opportunity for watch manufacturers to produce deconstructed dial watches with unibody watchbands and innovative design features that cater to the evolving consumer demands. - **Watch Accessories:** Opportunity for watch accessory companies to develop unibody watchbands and other innovative accessories that enhance the overall style and functionality of deconstructed dial timepieces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Half-Hour Timepiece Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arrowatch.md) - [Sleek Magnetic Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triarch.md) - [Orbital Timepiece Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radius-clock.md) - [Abstract Artwork-Inspired Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ode-to-delaunay-watch.md) - [Kinetic Art Wristwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/type-8-daniel-engelberg.md) - [Radical Watch Clasp Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/watch-concept-1.md) - [Minimal Sculptural Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trace-line.md) - [Linearly Formed Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linear-clock-concept.md) - [Minimalist Multi-Display Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimal-watch-concept.md)
