A Void in Time

Designed for the Fossil brand, the O Ring watch is a metaphorical symbol of the consistency of time which has no lapse. The open center piques the viewers interest when it becomes clear that the mechanical functionality doesn’t emanate from the center as we’re familiar with. On a side note, I’m suddenly craving a doughnut.

Four styles are available, each with a distinctive Nato strap. Nato straps were originally developed for British military watches – the textured nylon weave was specially chosen for its strength, durability and flexibility. Each case is also available in two variations: rose gold or polished silver.

Daniel Wellington Classic Glasgow Lady rose

The two men’s watches included in the selection are the Classic Warwick and the Classic Oxford. The Classic Warwick has a blue and green striped strap, whilst the Oxford’s is red and navy. Both styles have a 40-millimeter case that’s 6mm thick and is designed to fit comfortably on the wearer’s wrist.

Daniel Wellington Classic Swansea Lady silver

The women’s styles, the Classic Glasgow Lady and the Classic Swansea Lady, have a slightly smaller 36-millmeter case, but are still designed to fit in the same way. All the watches have interchangeable straps.

Filip Tysander founded the brand in 2011, following an encounter with a British gentleman named Daniel Wellington. His timeless style inspired Tysander to design and name a watch brand after him. This collection is directly inspired by Wellington, who used to wear his old Rolex threaded onto a Nato strap.

Record Chronograph by Achille Castiglioni now comes with a Nato strap

Record Chronograph by Achille Castiglioni for Alessi

Dezeen Watch Store: this chronograph version of the Record watch designed by Italian maestro Achille Castiglioni for Alessi now comes with a black nylon Nato strap.

The 40-milimetre polished stainless steel dial threads onto the hardwearing strap, which fastens with a metal buckle. Nato straps were developed for British military watches; the textured nylon weave was specially chosen for its durability and flexibility. 

Record Chronograph by Achille Castiglioni for Alessi

The chronograph has a striking black face with large printed numbers that were designed by Max Huber, a Swiss graphic designer who was a close friend of Castiglioni’s. The three chronograph dials count seconds, hours and minutes and are activated using the buttons on the side of the case. The chronograph also includes a stopwatch function and a date window.

Castiglioni designed the Record watch for Italian design brand Alessi in 2000, making it one of the last products he worked on. The original Record had a white face and black markings and a red or black strap.

Analog for Dummies

If you’re like me, you probably wear a watch out of habit and less for actually telling the time. After all, it’s just easier to look at your phone! Finally! A watch is for us lazy folk! The Mask watch’s two rotary layers display only the numbers you’re really looking for, making it fast and easy to check the time. In pure white or black, its subtle minimalist style looks great too.
