# Modern-Vintage Hybrid Watches This Timeless Watch by CJR is Intricate and Luxurious By Mishal Omar | Published 2016-06-22 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timeless-watch References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2016/06/22/the-smartwatch-killer-2/) & [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bhmagnet/airspeed-regulator-watch?token=8e02403c) This timeless watch combines traditional vintage aesthetics with modern functions. The 'Airspeed' watch designed by CJR is described as a "retro chic" unisex regulator watch. The timeless watch features three separate dials -- one to represent the hours in a day, another to show the minutes ticking by and the third to show the seconds in a minute. While many other regulator watches are designed around symmetry, this piece opts for an asymmetric aesthetic that gives this traditional-looking watch a more modern twist. The numbers and dials on this watch glow in the dark, making it easy to check day or night. This timeless watch intersects a traditional design concept with more modern features, making it perfect for people who enjoy dressing classically. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.0/10 - Popularity: 84% | Activity: 87% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## 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 - **Modern-vintage Hybrid Design:** Design new products that draw from both vintage and modern aesthetics for a unique and timeless look. - **Assymetric Aesthetic:** Experiment with non-symmetrical designs to create a modern twist on classic products. - **Glow-in-the-dark Features:** Incorporate glow-in-the-dark technology in products to make them more convenient and user-friendly. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Luxury Watches:** Luxury watch brands can experiment with modern-vintage hybrid designs and glow-in-the-dark features for unique and attractive products. - **Fashion Accessories:** Fashion accessory brands can experiment with modern-vintage hybrid designs and asymmetrical aesthetics to create unique and trendy accessories. - **Jewelry Design:** Jewelry designers can draw inspiration from modern-vintage hybrid designs and asymmetrical aesthetics to create interesting and unique pieces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Accessible Space Age Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timex-marlin-jet.md) - [Vintage Retro Futurism Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casio-aq240e3a.md) - [Modernized Vintage Wristwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintage-alarm-clock-wristwatch.md) - [Collaborative Retrograde Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-timechanger.md) - [Global Timezone Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nik-bentel-studio.md) - [Retro-Futurism Smartwatch Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/justwatch.md) - [Revived Quartz Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/q-timex-1972.md) - [Futuristic Space-Themed Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amida.md) - [Midcentury-Inspired Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tag-heuer-carrera-glassbox-chronograph.md)
