Outer space is a magnificent place that has influenced the human race over a long history.
Now, we have an orbiting watch. The Torbit Time-Orbit Watch designed by Evan Yiwei Ma is a futuristic unique way to tell the time.
It’s quite simple. The center ring sits in the middle of a band (pretty standard for a watch); however, it possess no hour or minute hands.
The clock displays a digital time that rotates around the ring corresponding to the spot of the minute hand (on a regular watch).
The watch is influenced by the orbiting of the planets in the Solar System.
Extraterrestrial timekeeping at its best.
