Like the bones in the human body, these one-of-a-kind Bones timepieces focuses on the ivory color and patterns of the internal skeletal structure.
The watch designed by Antoine Pasdeloup is definitely a coveted timepiece. Using a white ceramic shell that encases the light wooden base, the 'bones' emanate a playfulness that typical adult watches don't. The beautiful striations of the wood peeks though the exposed ceramic. Inspired by the camouflaged support that bones provide for the body, the ceramic pieces provide stability and connect the pieces of the watch together. The lime green dial rotates around the Bones timepieces, bringing the user's attention to the numberless face, which is replaced my a series of incrementally larger dots of the same color.
