Looking for functional, industrial design in a watch at a reasonable price? Starck-designed, Fossil O-Ring Watch definitely fits the bill with it's uber-funky o-ring face and simplistic detailing.
Implications - The minimalistic design may not be flashy enough for those looking for something more bold and outrageous from Phillipe Starck. However, less is more and it really works in this case considering the use of coors and the design elements that Starck has incorporated in this incredible piece. Considering it's a pretty neat collector's item, there's no reason that fans wouldn't flock to the O-Ring for themselves to rock.
This product comes in white, black or smokin' grey all for a cool $110.
