Dissatisfied with taking directions? La Cle du Temps from Hublot lets you tell your watch exactly how fast time should pass. Using [tourbillon based revolutionary movement](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hublot-big-bang-tourbillon), this godly [chronograph](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/defy-extreme-chrom) comes equipped with a speed selector for prolonging pleasant moments, and racing through the restless ones -- but I suppose that's all a matter of perception.

La Cle du Temps can be attributed to the masterly designs of Mathias Buttet. Featuring a glossy dial plate, a brawny black aesthetic and neon green accents, this is one [robust wristwatch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lvdb03-louis-varius-project) that is both aesthetically pleasing and interesting in function.
