'ora' concept watch by alexandros stasinopoulos



greek designer alexandros stasinopoulos has sent us images of his latest concept watch 'ora'.
 
the 'ora' concept is a study on the field of haute horlogerie.  it focuses on the display of
time via an unconventional mode, by replacing the expected dial arrangement found in
the vast majority of the mechanical watcheswith a set of three interwoven tapes – one to
indicate the hour(s), one to indicate the minute(s), and one to indicate the day.

the design of the case reflects an 'inside-out' design approach as it was the mechanism’s
arrangement that prescribed the overall form in an attempt to enhance its uniqueness
and create a distinctive silhouette.

btw alex was a former design aerobics participant and designboom would like to congratulate
him on his quality of work. if you would like to participate in our current courses check out

I like it. Refreshing concept. Should only come in yellow/white though, if it would be produced one day.
MJW   09.29.09

"Should only come in yellow/white though..."

Man, could you be a little more insecurely judgmental?

Why should I give a s*** what colors YOU think it should come in? Are you going to buy all of them when released on the market?

Wow... I want one very much... I think the black carbon-fibre one would go with most of what I have... amazing!
PXLomax   09.30.09
Thank you all for your great comments. The watch, as stated, is a concept, however i am working on contacts to examine possible production.. "time" will tell ;-)

Thanks again each one of you.

Best,

Alexandros

why beeing simple when you can be over complicated
lili   09.30.09
Nice!
Turquoise & leather would definitely be my choice, I was doubting between the yellow/white and the white/blue glass, but that turquoise one made my day.

WHEN IS IT COMING TO THE STORES???
Tiriel   09.30.09
i would most definitely buy this watch.
Remi Verhoeven   09.30.09

Wik Rakeman   10.01.09
Wow that's really nice well done. I'd love one!
Gemma   10.01.09
This is one of the most amazing watch designs I've ever seen. By far the most unique. I'd love to buy one if they're ever on the market - or if you'd take a private one-off order, I'd gladly pay for that as well. I'd love the black-framed model but with red tapes - that would be so slick.. not that the all-black one isn't slick. :)

If you're interested in selling one of these concept versions, please email me at jjballard@hotmail.com
