The [Time Lines Watch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/time-for-fun) is one of the slickest--albeit hard to read--pieces of [wrist jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/type-8-daniel-engelberg) I have come across in a while. Now obviously this is far from the [most confusing watch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/otsuka-lotec-no5-kai) on this site (just have a look) but it may take more than a quick glance to get the proper reading.

Created by renowned Italian designer Denis Guidone, the Time Lines Watch is absolutely stunning in my opinion. Not too flashy, but fancy enough that it can be worn at a business meeting or out to a nice dinner.
