The watch that combines time-telling and mystery

Taking inspiration from the twelve-sided polygon, the Dodecagon Watch uses the geometric shape and a commonly found density/opacity trick to create a watch that’s literally different and mysterious at the same time.

The crystal sitting atop the watch comes with a black tint which grows darker as the glass gets thicker. The dodecagon, being thickest at its center, therefore obstructs your view of the center of the dial. What you DO see, however, is the trail of light from glowing watch-hands at the end which points to the time. With a vibe that feels mysterious, ghostly even, the watch tells you time through these glowing hands that seem to appear from the darkness… and as a result, creating a visual that’s absolutely stunning to look at! Oh my lord, will you look at that minimal, beautiful packaging?!
