# Dual Clock Timepieces The Long Distance Watch by Kitmen Keung is Sophisticated and Practical By Meghan Young | Published 2013-11-07 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/long-distance-watch References: [fubiz.net](http://www.fubiz.net/en/2013/10/29/long-distance-watch/) & [kitmenkeung](http://www.kitmenkeung.com/) 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](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bond-by-kwamecorp) bracelet and the [Good Night Lamp](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/club-sport-neomatik-worldtimer), its [minimalist design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimal-watch-concept) 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." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 71% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/watches) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Long Distance Relationships:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop technology that enhances communication and emotional connectedness for people in long distance relationships. - **Travel-heavy Jobs:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create products or services that optimize travel experiences and make it easier for individuals with travel-heavy jobs to stay connected with loved ones. - **Sleek Minimalist Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce innovative technology or products with minimalist design aesthetics that prioritize functionality, practicality, and visual appeal. ### Where This Applies - **Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new communication technologies or apps that cater specifically to the needs of long distance couples. - **Travel and Hospitality:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create travel services that offer unique experiences and solutions for individuals with travel-heavy jobs. - **Fashion and Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design and manufacture minimalist fashion accessories that blend aesthetics with functionality for frequent travelers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Venn Diagram Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jetlag-clock.md) - [Minimal Global Desk-Side Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/world-clock-1.md) - [Concentric Timezone Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/analog-wall-clock.md) - [Connective Time Zone Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clockwise.md) - [Chromatic Quad-Timezone Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wolbrook-pan4timer.md) - [Linearly Formed Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linear-clock-concept.md) - [Intentionally Foggy Clock Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kehai-clock.md) - [Collaborative Retrograde Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-timechanger.md) - [Subtle Lifestyle-Changing Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superlocal-clock.md)
