The Brand
In March 2010, yankodesign (among others) posted a unique watch concept by Robert Dahl. After receiving a lot of attention for the Zero concept, the Ziiiro watch brand became a reality soon afterwards. Ziiiro have continued to create a range of unique, minimal, colorful watches without hands or markings.
The Watch
The Ziiiro Celeste Range of watches features two rotating colored discs which create gradients when they overlap. See the image below to find out how to ready the time on this watch.
Ziiiro Celeste, How to read the time
The Specifications
Case: Gunmetal stainless steel
Band: Gunmetal mesh bracelet
Lens: Crystal Mineral
Movement: Quartz
Warranty: One-year Ziiiro warranty
The Pros
This is a beautiful, minimal, well-made, colored steel watch. The steel mesh band is both comfortable and durable, and can be adjusted to fit your wrist perfectly by moving the clasp.
The Cons
Depending on your preference of band, sizing the band to fit can be a bit tricky. As with any watch that doesn’t have hands, you may have to spend a few minutes figuring out how to tell the time.
The Verdict
The Ziiiro Celeste is a unique, unusual cool watch. It’s a clever, intuitive watch made with good quality materials. Additionally, its not so unusual that its difficult to live with. As a fashion statement it will draw attention by its bright color combinations and lack of hands. With the Stainless mesh band, it should last for quite some time even if its worn daily.
