# Inspirational Conventional Watches OTO Watches Introduced 'Aspiration' & 'Cutting Edge' Timepieces By Amy Duong | Published 2018-09-10 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oto-watches References: [andykurovets](http://www.andykurovets.com/) Designer Andy Kurovets designed the two latest OTO Watches that boast the names 'Aspirational' and 'Cutting Edge.' The concept that lies behind the two new timepieces is supportive of each individual's desire to be their own unique self and encourage the act of creation. Within the two conventional watches, the hands are seen with a silhouette of a small human figure that is reaching towards new heights whilst balancing on the other hand, designed to represent a high wire. Both pieces reflect an intellectual idea and spiritual search that joins the journey of Kurovets himself. The Aspiration watch is designed to replicate the idea of an individual's new achievements that go beyond the ordinary and reaches for more. The Cutting Edge watch draws influence from the idea of an eternal human to push their boundaries and achieve a sense of balance to reach a goal. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 11% | Activity: 21% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/watches) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Individual Expression in Watches:** Designing watches that support each individual's desire to be unique and encourage self-creation. - **Intellectual and Spiritual Influence in Watch Design:** Incorporating intellectual ideas and spiritual concepts into watch designs to create deeper meaning. - **Symbolism in Watch Aesthetics:** Using symbolism in the aesthetic elements of watches to convey meaning and inspire wearers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Luxury Watch Industry:** Creating innovative watches that cater to the desire for individual expression and deeper meaning. - **Fashion Industry:** Exploring ways to incorporate intellectual and spiritual influences into fashion accessories like watches. - **Art and Design Industry:** Utilizing symbolism in watch aesthetics to create artistic and meaningful timepieces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Asymmetrical Shadowy Wristwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/good-evil-omen.md) - [Kinetic Art Wristwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/type-8-daniel-engelberg.md) - [Architect-Approved Watch Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tadao-ando-x-cauny.md) - [Vibrant Limited-Edition Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grow-your-dreams.md) - [Abstract Artwork-Inspired Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ode-to-delaunay-watch.md) - [Angular Automobile-Inspired Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/benly-design-s3000-cyber-watch.md) - [Radical Watch Clasp Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/watch-concept-1.md) - [Postmodern Cone Structural Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/postmodern-cone-watch.md) - [Streetwear-Inspired Watch Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audemars-piguet-x-kaws.md)
