Storm Trilogy Watch - Double Decker Triple Time Zone!

 

Much like the iconic double decker buses in the UK, this British designed limited edition Storm Trilogy watch has two levels.  The top floor is a traditional three-handed clock bolted onto the bottom floor where two totally different one handed displays give you two other timezones.  On the right features a simple single hand for hours so if it lies in the middle of the 8 and 9, it's showing 8:30.  To the bottom left is a more unique way of displaying the time due to the obscured viewing area.  A single hand of different lengths and design point to the hours in two rows, the shorter hand points to the hours past 3 o'clock and the longer hand points to the hours past 9 o'clock.

Limited Edition U-Boat U-42 GMT - Only 300 Produced!

HANDCRAFTED IN ITALY
Limited Edition U-Boat U-42 GMT Automatic Watch

Just released from Italy!

This is a limited edition Titanium piece to 300 pieces worldwide with a unique U-BOAT crown that pulls outwards at 90 degrees. The Crown locks into place with a level positioned at 5 o’clock. The strap is cordovan leather and the watch comes in a box with a magnifying glass.

Every single U-Boat timepiece is individually handcrafted in Italy by master craftsmen, dedicated to the highest level of precision engineering and finishing, where care and attention to detail span the entire process, from the very first prototype to the final assembly of the watch.

 

THE HISTORY
Lucca, 1942.

Ilvo Fontana, crafter of precision engineering instruments, received a prestigious commission from the Italian Navy: to design and build a new type of watch for their pilots. This challenge meant satisfying the high quality standards of the Navy and respecting very precise technical specifications, but above all guaranteeing maximum visibility and reliability in any light or weather condition. However, circumstance at that time did not allow the project to materialize. In 2000 Italo Fontana, Ilvo’s grandson, discovered these precious designs, which were to become his source of inspiration for the creation of the first U-Boat watch and his new dimension in time. U-Boat watches are characterized by their strong identity, large size, perfect legibility in all light and weather conditions, along with their bold and distinctive design: the left crown protected by a specially designed safety cover.
Every individual U-Boat watch is handcrafted in Italy and each tiny detail is overseen by Italo Fontana.

New 666 Barcelona Watches at Watchismo

BACK FROM SPAIN New watches from Barcelona The Concentric, NeoGeo, Flask, Alphabet, Broke, XXLED and more.

Click here to view all Barcelona 666 Watches

"Concentric" watches encapsulate time disappearing in a thinning chaos of digits.

"XXLED" features exactly that - an enormous Light Emitting Diode display.

"Broke" has a very unusual name but this cool watch features the day/date in chrono-style.

"Alphabet" utilizes letters instead of numbers for this eccentric chronograph.

"Flask" is a minimalist approach to the canteen watch with protective crown cap and cutaway indices.

"NeoGeo" quite simply tells time with unexpected graphic randomness.

The ever popular "John Watch" collection has been revamped with new designs and colors, still the longest watch in the world!

   

VENTURA SPARC MGS - World's First True Mechanical Automatic Digital Watch at Watchismo

After years of research and development, the world's first mechanical automatic digital watch is a reality! Ventura SPARC MGS No batteries included, no batteries required Ventura invented the Automatic Digital Watch in 2000. The movements of the wrist activate a rotary mass which relays the momentum to a micro-generator; the electric energy gained in the process continuously feeds an optoelectronic time-module. The Micro-Generator-System of the new SPARC MGS was developed to achieve maximum performance. Placing the MGS side-by-side next to the time-device enabled a larger and heavier oscillating mass. This array also permits the viewing of the mechanism from the top, giving the SPARC MGS its characteristic appearance. The miniature power-station sustains a state-of-the-art micro-processor and a 250-segments 12-digit liquid-crystal display. The latest operating system EasySkroll v.2.0 allows later upgrades, another first in wristwatches. The multiple functions of the SPARC MGS are intuitively operated by a single scroller.

NEW VOID WATCH COLLECTION UNVEILED WITH STEEL STRAPS!

The USS Watchismo has unearthed a new collection of VOID watches

V01 and V02 now with stainless steel straps!

"Inspired by the horizon, the line where sky and sea meet, a coming together of the elements and a reconciliation of opposites"

VOID Watches is an independent boutique watch brand launched in 2008 as the single vision of Swedish designer David Ericsson.
They have a unique take on watch design using simple yet expressive shapes, giving our watches an almost architectural expression. Just like a great building is designed to fit its environment, all VOID Watches are made to sit perfectly on your wrist.

The design draws heavily on the Scandinavian design tradition using simple geometries and materials often found in architecture. Our design philosophy is to create unique products using as simple geometries as possible and bring them to life by using honest, traditional materials.

See the entire VOID Watch Collection The V02 uses two ‘compass needle’ hands, the short hand representing the hours and the long the minutes as on any other watch. Each hand has one rd. and one white end where each color corresponds to the number with the matching color on the dial. V01EL – DIGITAL WATCH This watch uses a custom inverted LCD display with an electroluminescent back light and simple time/date functions. The solid stainless steel case is measuring 36 x 42 x 9mm. The watch comes in various colours and finishes. It has a mineral glass crystal and a high quality leather strap. V02 – ANALOGUE WATCH This iconic watch features a novel interpretation of the classic speedometer-style dial showing only half of the traditional circular face. The V02 uses two ‘compass needle’ hands, the short hand representing the hours and the long indicating the minutes as on a normal watch. Each hand has one red and one white tip at opposite ends where each colored tip corresponds to the digit with the matching color on the dial. This watch is deliberately engineered to encourage the user to reflect on the value of time. The main challenge has been finding the optimum balance between usability and complexity. By using a representation of the classic compass needle, a deliberate contradiction of an intuitive symbology is created. This unusual method of displaying time encourages the user to reflect on this most precious of all commodities and acts as a reminder of the fragility and transience of a moment. The solid stainless steel case is precisely molded and carefully proportioned measuring 36 x 42 x 9mm. The watch comes in various colors and finishes, with a mineral glass crystal and high quality leather strap. The ‘compass needle’ hands still allow the use of a standard 12 hour high quality quartz movement from Japan.

Designer David Ericsson (b 1977 in Sweden) has always been fascinated with the process of creating products, from idea to delivery to the end user. After graduating as an engineer from the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, he started to work for one of Sweden’s largest industrial design firms, where he gradually shifted his attention towards design. With a technical background, his design approach is often to keep things as simple as possible, but with a unique twist.
