Sometimes
Milan based designer and architect Denis Guidone has created a minimalist wrist watch for Projects Watches, named Sometimes.
What you will notice about the contemporary Sometimes watch is not only the simple shape, colour and face, but the function of the hands, particularly the second hand. These elongated white hands are juxtaposed against the black dial. The second hand aligns with the minute and hour for only a moment, moving independently and appearing as if out of sync with time itself. Perhaps making this its most interesting feature.
Sometimes it’s better to stop thinking about the time, whatever happens, it will not stop. Hours, minutes and seconds continue to play together.
I can really appreciate the minimalist approach to this design and although I have never been particularly fond of round faced watches, I do like it. But what do you think?

Want !
I’d love it if the body was a tad thinner. Beautiful work nonetheless.
love it.
I quite like it, but by the looks of it it’s not really a quality item. If it had some more substance to it and a mechanical movement, I probably would get one.
It reminds me of the Issey Miyake watch designed by Tokujin Yoshioka. Similar shape. Then again…they’re both simple, minimalistic silhouttes so they tend to mimic each other.
