# Hourglass Watch Faces The OZO Watch Seamlessly Blends Old and New Time Trackers By Michael Hines | Published 2010-12-02 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ozo-watch References: [tuvie](http://www.tuvie.com/ozo-watch-by-anton-repponen/) & [work.repponen](http://work.repponen.com/#127213/OZO-Watch) I’m not the biggest fan of minimalism, so I was caught off guard by my infatuation with the OZO Watch. Minimalist watches are a dime a dozen these days, yet the OZO Watch manages to separate itself from the pack with its [unique face](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anoma-a1-optical) and simple styling. The hours and minutes form a figure eight that moves through the hourglass on the face of the OZO Watch. The fanciest piece of tech on designer Anton Repponen’s watch is its "night-mode," which lights up the hourglass and lets you keep time in the dark. Check it out in the gallery and read below to see Repponen’s take on his unique design. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 58% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/watches) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Minimalist Watch Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop minimalist watches with unique and eye-catching designs to stand out in the market. - **Night-mode Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate night-mode technology into various products to offer enhanced functionality and convenience in low-light situations. - **Creative Time Trackers:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore innovative ways to track time, such as using unique shapes and arrangements, to add a new level of visual appeal and user experience in timekeeping devices. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine fashion and technology to create stylish and functional timepieces that cater to modern consumers' preferences. - **Electronics:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new electronic components and features for timekeeping devices to enhance their functionality and user experience. - **Home Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce timekeeping devices that can also serve as decorative pieces, combining practicality with aesthetic appeal. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Asymmetrical Shadowy Wristwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/good-evil-omen.md) - [Half-Hour Timepiece Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arrowatch.md) - [Abstract Artwork-Inspired Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ode-to-delaunay-watch.md) - [Minimalist Refined Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/azazel.md) - [Transparent All-Glass Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nothing-watch-1.md) - [Minimalist Multi-Display Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimal-watch-concept.md) - [Sleek Magnetic Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triarch.md) - [Kinetic Art Wristwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/type-8-daniel-engelberg.md) - [Kinetic Pattern Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moir-clock.md)
