The Swiss Reimagined 'SNGLRTY' timepiece has been designed to offer wearers with a stylish accessory that will enable them to read the time without any confusion. Featuring a one-handed design, the timepiece takes advantage of the One Hand Indication (OHI) approach to get rid of the hour hand altogether. The hour hand works to pinpoint the hour, while a rotating dial on the face indicates the minute through a strategically placed window on the arm.
The Swiss Reimagined 'SNGLRTY' timepiece identifies the increased demand for consumer accessories that increase efficiency to put a focus on minimalism as more users find themselves overwhelmed by technology and unnecessary items. The timepiece is set to be part of a crowdfunding campaign in March with worldwide availability and pricing of the watch not yet announced.
