The Essential Watch merges contemporary aesthetics with timeless analog styling, presenting a captivating hybrid in the realm of wearable technology. Designed to captivate, this timepiece brings a harmonious blend of modern design and classic elegance to the forefront.

Iterative Prototyping

To perfect the form and dimensions, multiple 3D-printed models were created and meticulously evaluated. Each iteration allowed for refinements and enhancements. The cosmetic model, showcased in an elegant black and gold color scheme, embodies the final design vision, representing the ideal blend of aesthetics and functionality.

 

Digital smart features include quick notifications, wireless payment options and smart key capabilities to enable communication with other devices. Sound and vibration options allow the wearer to customize methods of notification. The watch band is custom injection molded for comfort and durability.

The sleek button-free design features a capacitive e-Ink touchscreen and minimalist UI, giving the wearer access to layers of functionality without sacrificing sophistication of physical form. The touchscreen is haloed by a radial dial with analog hour, minute and second hands, subtly influenced by Suprematist art and Swiss design. Radial back-lighting is responsive to ambient light levels, providing “just right” illumination to the watch features.
