The ARAGON Watch brand offers a stylish model aeroplane chronograph called the 'Jet Clock' that is designed to sit on a flat surface and display the time with two dapper quartz dials. The dials are located in the aeroplane's jet engines to create a seamless integration of a watch within the toy model.
The 'Jet Clock' is a moveable timepiece that replicates the motions of a soaring plane with subtle up and down motions. The aircraft is a three dimensional replica of a standard airplane comprise of metal and detailed embellishments to create a realistic interpretation of the larger-scale jets. The watches are located inside the model plane's engines and can be set to two different time zones for avid travellers.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Toy Model Clocks
- The integration of timepieces within toy models presents an opportunity for a new niche market of decorative and functional collectibles.
- Motion-replicating Timepieces
- Designing timepieces with motion features that replicate the movements of their subject can lead to innovative and attention-grabbing watch designs.
- Dual Time Zone Watches
- Watches that display more than one time zone are becoming increasingly popular amongst frequent travellers, indicating a potential growth opportunity for this market segment.
Sectors Adopting This
- Toy Manufacturing
- Incorporating functional watch technology within toy models can add value and increase uniqueness of designs, setting companies apart from competitors in the toy industry.
- Watchmaking
- The development of intricate and innovative watch designs that go beyond traditional timepieces can help companies differentiate themselves in the already crowded watchmaking industry.
- Tourism
- Dual time zone watches that cater to the needs of frequent travellers may present a valuable opportunity for companies in the tourism industry as a complementary product or service offering.
