Numbers are so overrated these days, so switch up your traditional timepiece for this Ferrowatch by Karim Zaouai. Substituting words for numbers, it uses a sensitive magnetic liquid called Ferrofluid to tell time.
According to the designer, the Ferrowatch by Karim Zaouai features "hidden needles reflect the shape of the gears. This watch is a tribute to mechanical watches. The time, fickle and liquid freezes in space when tilting the wrist thanks to magnetism internal housing." Pretty neat, don't you think?
