The Sunstich Watch by Michael Young is a solar-powered wristwatch featuring a button-free design. Instead of buttons the watch is controlled by tapping on different places on the watch's interface (sounds like a feature James Bond would have).
The timepiece gets its energy to run from the sun, which powers the dials inside to move. One need not worry if it's a cloudy day because the Sunstich Watch comes with a silver oxide backup battery just in case. The design itself is very minimalistic because there are no numbers on the display and only an hour hand and a minute hand.
The Sunstich Watch was designed for Hong Kong watch brand 'o.d.m' and is expected to hit the market relatively soon.
