Michael Young's MY03 Hacker is attempting to change the way you tell time with its sunken face and sharp lines. The MY03 Hacker is primarily inspired by Young's engineering work and is designed to be both eye-catching and easy to read.
The most noticeable feature of the MY03 Hacker is its concave face. The face is filled with lines as opposed to numbers and dashes. Time is told traditionally by reading the minute and hour hands located beneath a central disk that also houses the lens. The watch sits on a polyurethane strap and comes in six different colors. Watches with funky faces are a dime a dozen these days, but they are often too difficult to read and aren't functional. Young's MY03 Hacker is a fresh and functional design perfect for design fans who want to be able to actually read the watch on their wrist.
