The design of this marble watch takes minimalist elegance to another level. Currently seeking funds on crowdfunding site Kickstarter, the Analog Watch Co. created its new Mason Watch out of solid marble.
The Swiss Made timepiece is the latest from the Philadelphia-based company using unconventional materials. Previous products included wrist-worn ant farms and flexible wooden watches.
The sculptural time-teller is available in black and white marble with a circular or hexagonal face. Even though the marble watch is made out of stone, it only weighs two ounces and every one is unique. Even the dial and case are made out of marble.
With eight styles to choose from, the accessories are easily customizable to suit your style, especially because they come with interchangeable straps.
