Segregated Display Timepieces

The Zeno-Watch Basel Separates Hours, Minutes and Seconds

The Zeno-Watch Basel cockpit digital quartz watch is a timepiece with an unorthodox design that sees the hours, minutes and seconds segregated from one another to make the act of checking the time slightly more cryptic.

The watch features a rotating dial on the face that will indicate the hour, while the minutes are tracked in the largest quadrant and the seconds on the subdial on the lower right. This requires wearers to take a moment to read the time by first identifying the hour then the minute in order to get an accurate reading from the fashionable timepiece.

The Zeno-Watch Basel cockpit digital quartz watch features a stainless steel case, sapphire crystal on the top and is water resistant up to 50 meters.
