The new watch and accessory brand 'Foto Nouveau' offers lens watches and was created by the photographer and Art Director at Getty Images -- William Bon.
When creating the brand, the designer was clearly inspired by his love and talent for photography. The watches he chose to make come in three different styles and are marketed to other photographers. The lens watches are water-resistant, are made from sapphire crystals and stainless steel and have a leather strap. Each watch face resembles the lenses that can be found on traditional cameras.
These lens watches are inspired by the creator's passion for photography, making them stand out in a market that is overrun with standard designs.
