The Doublefeature watch may seem very big and clunky, which is the quite the opposite of where contemporary aesthetics are going, but there is a good reason for it. With two faces, the Doublefeature watch relays the time in dual timezones. Especially good for those leading bicoastal lives, or who have loved ones in other parts of the world, the timepiece allows people to feel more connected at all times.
Conceived by Austrian designer Paul Kweton, the Doublefeature watch is custom-made and features a 3D-printed case and interior parts. Inspired by car dashboard gauges, the Doublefeature watch boasts a white and blue colorway that embraces its bold look. It is more of an accessory than a watch.
