The world might be getting smaller, but that sometimes only creates more difficulties as people commit to long distance relationships and travel-heavy jobs; hence the Long Distance Watch. Although it doesn't keep people in touch like such tech inventions as the Bond bracelet and the Good Night Lamp, it does keep other time zones in mind. Thus a basic sort of connection is achieved.
Sleek and sophisticated, the Long Distance Watch is designed by Kitmen Keung. Made for the frequent traveller, its minimalist design refers to the need for function and practicality without losing sight of desiring a tasteful form as well. According to the designer, "The design is an embodiment of general vision of culture and modern industrial design."
