For those individuals that like to dress to impress with slightly out of the ordinary outfits, the 'Qlocktwo' watch is perfect for you.

This watch deviates from its larger [wall clock ancestor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casio-japan) and brings the modern style of reading time with words down to the wrist. Instead of using a [digital clock display](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dozen-clock) or hands, this watch boasts an array of letters on its screen and they light up to give an approximated time for the wearer. It is a simple read and looks extremely sophisticated, which adds to its overall elegance. It is a great way to show off one's [individualistic style](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pebble-time-2) and of course it will turn some heads.
