Sophisticatedly Spherical Smart Watches

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

— May 29, 2013 — Fashion
Tech enthusiasts have been buzzing about a possible watch being released by computing powerhouse Apple for quite some time and this iWatch Concept by Nikolai Lamm takes a scaled down approach to what the device could -- nay, is hoped to -- look like.
