A watch for keeping time is becoming less and less a part of society. With many of us now looking at our mobile phones for the correct network calibrated time, the watch industry has seen a massive decline in sales over the past decade. Wearing a watch in 2008 is becoming more of a utilitarian fashion accessory, than a way to count the hours. Denis Guidone was just selected as the winner of the international design competition Adamo Eva. His whimsical scribble watch design called “Ora Unica”, meaning One Hour, is a wonderful contrast of chaos and order mixed together. In their words, “The hour and minute hands are represented by a single line drawn on two circular faces, which turn one inside the other. Both faces together resemble a graphical gesture, a doodle that changes as time passes.” So now you know what time it is… I think.
Designer: Denis Guidone
First of all, it’s almost certainly spelled “Hora Unica” with a silent H. And a better translation of that in English would be “Only Time”.
It is not, they designed it and spelled it that way. Thanks for the look out though.
That would be if it were Spanish. It is not, however. It is Italian.
And a better translation might be “Single hour”, although “One hour” is acceptable.
Or maybe Unique Hour?
ikn times of the internet its strange that it takes three posts to translate a simple italian word….
unique is correct

it's italian. thus ora unica is correct.

I like this design a lot, it would be cool if you link the artist portfolio or the web you get that
also, i think the best translation would be Single Hour

cool watch, it was added at http://gearcult.com
it would be great if there are more images, I’m confused how are we supposed to read the time with this watch ?
Yah…What time is it now ?
I think it’s 11:40. It has a perfect white circle with a black border in the center and the line inside it points to the hour. That “hour face” is on top of the “minute face”, which has a line pointing to the minute. Just guessing though.
10:40… If it were 11:40 the hour “hand” would be almost vertical. Very cool design!
very interesting and fresh thought! 🙂
An innovative design but I’m afraid I am not smart enough to read the time!
sensitive. Would love to have something like that.
Time is not essential for busy life~

It is really refreshing to see such an orignal way of showing the time. The result looks like a piece of art.
I hope it will be on the market…soon!

This watch is truly unique.
If anybody knows the cost or where
I could purchase this watch, please tell me.
Is suppose the one end of the doodle is pointing at the minutes (the shorter one) and the other at the hours, right? Once you know this it is easy. This is quite a smart idea…
What we now about time? Our idea is very accurate.
