**The Cobalt** watch, designed by **Adam Huffman**, successfully merges old world [pocket watch design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seiko-presage-craftsmanship-series-porter) with 21st century technology. The Cobalt comes with an [OLED touch screen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimal-watch-concept) which allows easy access to its many features with a left, right or downward flick of the thumb. The main screen features the time, date, temperature, email and text, and voicemail updates. Furthermore, the default screen is completely customizable to your needs for analog display or digital.

I'm really loving this [technologically advanced pocket watch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amida-digitrend-open-sapphire).
