A hands free wooden watch that uses twelve little circles to tell the time! - Yanko Design

I thought I had pretty much seen every type of lookout man there is until I came across Grovemade and their recently launched Black Spotter 01. Founded by 2 designers aka proficient friends, Joe Mansfield and Ken Tomita, the Portland-based brand specializes in products showcasing some pretty absurd woodwork. For the Black Sentinel 01 and their preceding wooden watches, they collaborated with Stefan Andrén to create rugged EDC watches, dissimilar anything you lot've seen before.

The Blackness Sentry 01 ditches the traditional analog design for a round wooden confront. The mitt-sanded walnut face was dyed a beautiful black with Japanese calligraphy ink and topped off with a articulate lacquer. Oxidized to a deep black, the stainless steel module complements the face perfectly. However, this is where it gets even more interesting. Foregoing the classical dials you usually run across on watches, Grovemade adopted twelve little circles to stand for the time, instead of the usual numbers. A peek at the watch volition reveal not numbers, but round holes that will guide yous, and be sure to sentinel out for the orange-and-white-colored ones! The orange-and-white-colored circles signify the time of the twenty-four hour period. The Black Watch 01 makes telling time interactive, and is "a more tactile approach to letting you know where you are in the mean solar day."

Crafted from American hardwood, the face of the watch is complemented past a vegetable-tanned leather strap. The strap is also available in a tan version if you feel like adding a pop of color. Organic, raw, and real, The Black Watch 01 will slow down your twenty-four hour period, clear your mind and plough your accessorized wrist into an eye-catcher!
