Capsus Films a conçu, produit et réalisé ce manifeste pour la nouvelle marque de montres MONA : une vidéo chaleureuse parlant de l’âme des choses. La montre se fait discrète et la vidéo met en avant des paysages, des humains, des sentiments, des couleurs et des sensations très esthétiques.
Artists have been inspired by the sky since the dawn of time; from the clouds and birds soaring, to human ascent and even the outer reaches of what we know—and can further imagine. Gravity-defying limitlessness propels the imagination, and it’s no different within the watch world. The following three pieces…

Dezeen Watch Store: Scout, the first watch by Swiss-based design studio Big-Game, is now available in five colours at Dezeen Watch Store.
Designed for everyday use, Scout features flat surfaces and geometric lines with a bold, easy-to-read face and contrasting numerals and markers.
“We researched heavily on military and functional timepieces throughout history,” Big-Game told Dezeen Watch Store. “Their use of high contrast dials, readable typefaces and simple case designs made them look functional and elegant at the same time.”
“We wanted to come up with our own updated version and call it Scout – a simple, robust, affordable timepiece – a tool for everyday life,” added the designer.
The watch, which features a durable nylon strap, also draws from surprising nostalgic inspiration. “In a more unexpected way we were always big fans of the Flik Flak kids watches that also have an aluminium case and a Nylon strap,” explained the designer.
Scout comes available in five colours; red, green, blue, black and grey, and is available with free worldwide shipping.
You can buy all of our watches online, and you can also visit our watch shop in Stoke Newington, north London – contact us to book an appointment.

Conventional hearing aids come with a lot of short comings. Loud noises making the wearer feel irritable, the awkwardness of wearing bigger sized hearing aids and many more. The CLOSE is an attempt at an alternative system to provide speech input to the hearing impaired by means of tactile sensations.
Fashioned like a stylish smart watch, CLOSE has been claimed to possess the capability to analyze and convert auditory signals into tactile sensations. It aims to achieve tactile communication by means of electrode arrays that simulates the feeling of touch on the wrist. The designers are confident that human brain could decipher these tactile inputs into speech patterns. CLOSE can also share information with a smartphone via Bluetooth linking.
The CLOSE concept would be a great invention if it could work perfectly as claimed by the designers. Because, not only can this be an alternative to hearing aids, but also help people with cochlear damage and zero hearing abilities.
Designers: Zhengmu Fang, Liang Wenshan & Liu Junming
