Hamilton is one of the most respected and trusted watch makers of our time. Now normally the most trusted and respected companies play the straight and narrow when it comes to design. But Hamilton's window pane-like Time Player watch is far from a traditional timepiece.
The limited edition watch has a face that is divided into 9 movable squares. Some indicating locales and the others are individual time-telling watch dials. This watch is way ahead of its time. It's design actually has its roots in a clock that Hamilton created for Stanley Kubrick's film '2001: A Space Odyssey'.
