You've got 12 digits on your watch, but you're only ever really looking at two--the other 10 are just sitting there, doing nothing for you. One designer has obviously felt this annoyance and has found a way to combat it by creating a chronograph that only displays the present time. The Yves Buhar Vue Watch displays only the present hour to the owner, while hiding all other time signifiers in a cloak of mystery.

Now I am not one for gimmicky watches--that is, of course, unless they have an ultra sleek design like the Yves Buhar Vue Watch. If you're worried that this fine piece of arm candy is just a concept, never fret. It is currently being developed by Seiko with a market release of sometime this year.
