Minimalist Pocket Timepieces

The Modern Pocket Watch Updates a Forgotten Classic

The technology market has conditioned consumers to prefer devices and products that are literally affixed to the skin, but the Modern Pocket Watch takes a different approach using a classic design aesthetic. Rather than requiring you to strap a watch on, the pocket watch is designed with a carabiner to be clipped onto pants, worn as a necklace or perhaps even hung as an accessory from a bag.

Coming in three style varieties including the 'Vaugirard,' 'Le Marais' and 'Champs-Elysees,' the Modern Pocket Watch is suitable for both men and women alike. Currently funding on Kickstarter, the pocket watch is already gaining traction as being a beautiful new take on a classic design aesthetic from Wanderlust Watches that'll continue to withstand the test of time.
