# Sleek Magnetic Timepieces The Triarch Watch Reinvents Dial Design with Magnets By Amy Duong | Published 2025-11-23 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triarch References: [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/iwmk/triarch-the-watch-of-eternal-balance?ref=azv2lr)  The Triarch watch reimagines the traditional wristwatch by replacing hands with a small magnetic ball that moves along a triangular track to indicate the minutes. The rotating hour dial sits beneath the triangle, creating a layered display that feels both mechanical and sculptural. The watch uses a [Miyota](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/otsuka-lotec-no5-kai) [9039](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiwame-tokyo-iwao-sumi) automatic movement inside a 42 millimeter stainless steel case with a sapphire crystal, giving the playful time concept a reliable technical foundation. The triangular layout shapes how the viewer reads time, and the small steel ball adds a subtle kinetic presence that shifts with each passing minute. The release includes two versions that share the same movement but differ in visual character. The first model presents a more minimal design with a smooth dial and a leather strap, while the second version adds lume and a bolder surface texture. Both options highlight the triangular concept as the core identity of the piece, turning a familiar object into a focused study of motion and form.
