Roto Gears : Watchface

It is no secret that gears are the concealed mechanical elements in a watch that give the needles their different and precise speeds of rotation. They work in a rhythmic unison that is fascinating to see. So we came up with the idea of doing away with the standard anterior of a dial and bringing the gears forward.

Roto Gears is a simple watchface that mimics the inner mechanical design of a watch on its surface. This idea is an extension of our product, Roto 360’s design. Instead of giving the dial a single pivot as we did in Roto 360, we displaced the hour and minute dials, making them wheel close to each other like two rotating gears. The dot at the centre works as the single indicator of time.
