This Mechanical Watch by 4N Features Three Rotating Discs
Vasiliki Marapas — November 13, 2014 — Tech
The MVT01/D01 watch by 4N looks like something that might adorn the wrist of a mad scientist.
Made with over 500 different components, this watch operates on the smart composition of several rotating discs which overlap (and illuminate) to reveal the time. Watching the discs rotate, and subsequently, tell the hour, minute and seconds of the day, is a truly mesmerizing experience. It might not be the most time efficient (no, seriously, you might get hypnotized) but it's definitely one of the coolest. The watch face features a contrasting orange-and-black display cased in carbon fiber, offering a stunning visual juxtaposition that looks both modern and masculine.
The watch took four years to make, and only 16 are currently in production.
