The timepiece features an [ultra-minimalist design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/azazel) that has no numbers or indicators, but instead relies on a series of hands underneath the synthetic cloth-covered dial. These bumps will indicate the hour and the minute as they swiftly shift underneath the cloth to create a minimalist aesthetic that can also be read by touch. The 'Relevo' watch concept is imagined in red, black and white finishes, and takes a decidedly [sleek approach to timepiece design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triarch). This rebels against the [feature-rich smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vetra-orbit-one) on the market, while also setting itself apart from the more complex, high-end timepieces on the market. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 88% | Activity: 77% | Freshness: 13% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/watches) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Tactile Timepiece Design:** Opportunity for disrupting the conventional timepiece market with a focus on tactile and minimalist design. - **Minimalist Aesthetics:** Investment in minimalist design for consumer products for both tactile and visual appeal. - **Simplification of Complex Technologies:** Simplification of high-end technologies for enhanced user experience in products such as timepieces. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Industry:** Innovation in tactile timepiece design for accessorizing and enhancing fashion apparel. - **Consumer Electronics:** Investment in developing aesthetic-focused alternative solutions to traditional smartwatches. - **Technology Industry:** Application of simplified high-end technologies for enhancing user experience in a wide range of consumer products beyond timepieces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Minimalist Multi-Display Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimal-watch-concept.md) - [Half-Hour Timepiece Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arrowatch.md) - [Meditative Vibrating Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stund-watch.md) - [Transparent All-Glass Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nothing-watch-1.md) - [Minimal Sculptural Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trace-line.md) - [Minimalist Mars Exploration Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nova-nasa-watch-concept.md) - [Dynamic Shadow Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/textural-wall-clock.md) - [Sleek Magnetic Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triarch.md) - [Retro-Futurism Smartwatch Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/justwatch.md)
