Dezeen Watch Store: the 250 Series, the latest design by best-selling British watch brand Uniform Wares, is now available at Dezeen Watch Store.

Similar to the recent 150 Series, the 250 series has been designed with the features of a classic gentlemen’s dress watch.

Detailing on the watch includes raised hour markers from the casing, textured hand dials as well as a chamfered chapter ring adding depth to the face.

It is available in a collection of three finishes new to the Uniform Wares collection; a satin gold case with a tanned black leather strap, a fine satin brushed case with a walnut brown tanned leather strap, and a matt gun metal grey case with a taupe strap.

The leather strap is sourced from Italian and British tanneries and the watch mechanism is a Swiss made ETA movement.

Here are some more details from Uniform Wares:

250 Series wristwatch

Uniform Wares continues its growth apace with the launch of its latest collection, the 250 Series.

Taking inspiration from the simple, legible elegance of post-WWII gentlemen’s wristwatches, the 250 Series includes classic design details such as applied hour markers and textured dials, as well as contemporary touches such as baton-style hands, a chamfered chapter ring and a 39mm case resulting in a modern dress watch that is extremely wearable and very much in keeping with Uniform Wares’ streamlined aesthetic.

Following on from the launch of the 150 Series in June, the British-designed 250 Series continues the brand’s reinterpretation of classic detailing for a contemporary audience.

The piece was conceived as a reinterpretation of a classic dress watch. We wanted to scale up the case and lift dial details to improve legibility and enhance the presence of the watch on the wrist.

Textures and colours have been chosen carefully to soften the contemporary contours of the case.

Each watch in the series has scratch-resistant sapphire glass for improved clarity, Swiss ETA movement and a matt-textured, buttery soft strap in oiled calf leather.

Dezeen Watch Store: Ora is the fourth watch by Italian designer Denis Guidone to be available from Dezeen Watch Store.

One edge of the round face has been cropped to form three corners, without disrupting the path of the hands. The watch has a stainless steel case with a diameter of 42mm and a black leather strap.

Guidone is a Dezeen regular and recently showed new prototypes at our micro-exhibitions Dezeen Platform. We also filmed an interview with him in Milan earlier this year – watch it on Dezeen Screen. Other watches by Denis Guidone on Dezeen Watch Store include the Ora Lattea, Ora Unica and Tempo Libero.

Dezeen Watch Store: O, a watch by Japanese designer Tokujin Yoshioka for fashion band Issey Miyake, is now available at Dezeen Watch Store and at our Dezeen Space pop-up from tomorrow. 

O consists of a mirrored watch face embedded in a transparent grey plastic bangle.

Yoshioka designed the watch to appear as though sculpted from water.

The clear plastic bracelet reveals the wearer’s wrist as well as reflecting their surroundings, like the play of light on liquid.

The name of the watch comes from the French word ‘eau,’ meaning ‘water’ and pronounced “O”.

Other Issey Miyake watches on Dezeen Watch Store include VUE by Yves Behar, Trapezoid AL by Naoto Fukasawa and Hu by Ross Lovegrove.

Here are some more details from manufacturers Seiko Instruments:

“O”, produced by ISSEY MIYAKE and developed by Seiko Instruments Inc., was launched at the Basel World in Switzerland in March of 2011 in celebration of the 10th anniversary of the ISSEY MIYAKE watch project.

“O” is designed, aiming to go back to the origin of the watch.

It is as if sculpted from water, and creates the scenery which only the time itself embraces the wrist of the wearer.

The smooth curvature of the transparent bangle leads our eyes to the mirror finish body, which reflects the scenes of the surroundings, and gradually blends into the environment as if disappearing the form of itself.

Using the transparent special plastic material, “O” opens up a new direction in watch design with non-definitive form like water, which is as if freed from the concept of the materialism.
