# Lunar-Faced Timepieces The Time & Space Watch Appears to Be Affected by Zero Gravity By Meghan Young | Published 2012-11-09 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/time-space-watch References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2012/11/09/lunar-timekeeper/) & [i3lab](http://www.i3lab.com/) The Time & Space watch focuses on two concepts that often go hand-in-hand. Although it is shaped like a traditional timepiece, the design has been tweaked subtly to give the impression that time has somehow been suspended. The face of the Time & Space watch features a picture of a [full moon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perpetual-moon-concept), which was taken by astrophotographer Norbert in Nantes, France. Although this alone sets a [cosmic tone for the timepiece](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spaceone-worldtimer), the design is take a step further with the odd placement of the hands. As though in a state of [zero gravity](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/europa-clipper-exploration-watch), the hands appear to be floating at odd angles. Nevertheless, they continue to point out the time accurately, even if it is in a more surreal manner. The face also glows in the dark. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 37% | Activity: 24% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/watches) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Suspended Time Perception:** Opportunity for creating timepieces that challenge traditional concepts of time and give the impression of suspended time. - **Cosmic Design:** Opportunity for incorporating celestial imagery and cosmic elements into watch designs. - **Surreal Time Display:** Opportunity for creating timepieces with unconventional hand placement that give a surreal and artistic interpretation of time. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Watchmaking:** Opportunity for watchmakers to push the boundaries of traditional timepiece design and create innovative and artistic watches. - **Astrophotography:** Opportunity for astrophotographers and designers to collaborate in creating unique watch faces featuring celestial imagery. - **Nighttime Visibility:** Opportunity for companies to develop watches that incorporate glowing elements for enhanced nighttime visibility. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Luxury Space-Themed Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-themed-timepiece.md) - [Moon Landing-Themed Watch Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moon-walker.md) - [Planet-Resembling Watch Faces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galaxy-time.md) - [Moon-Inspired Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moon-trip-clock.md) - [Tubular Illuminating Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spacetime-blade.md) - [Space Exploration-Inspired Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-snoopy-moonswatch.md) - [Nostalgic Space Exploration Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dsky-moonwatch.md) - [Black Hole-Inspired Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blue-planet-ii-black-star.md) - [Meteorite Moon Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perpetual-moon-concept.md)
