The conceptual Oblivion AX-01 watch is an elegant accessory that goes against conventional timepiece design aesthetics in favor of a linear direction that is devoid of hands. The accessory features a tubular portion suspended in the middle of the dial that utilizes a series of dials to let the wearer know the time as well as the date. This maintains a somewhat retro aesthetic and will shift continuously throughout the day to create visual intrigue in the form of subtle movement.
The conceptual Oblivion AX-01 watch is the design work of Rajesh Sriram, and maintains an all-black finish that is accented with a series of segmented red lines that act as indicators of the time and date.
