The company was founded in 2009 by Robert Dabi. His goal was to design a watch he wanted to wear. Oddly enough, this watch was designed to enjoy time rather than function. ZIIRO came up with the first watch to use magnetism, all of which is based on the concept of Jupiter, the largest magnetic field out of all planets in the solar system. The watch boasts 316L stainless steel, [magnetic orbits to show time](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pioneer-flying-hours), and a high-grade transparent mirror. What separates this watch from others is its sphere calibrations, magnetic track, and simplistic nature. The watch is available in black, rose gold, chrome, and rose gold/black colors.
