geoffry cooper: geocentric watch

geoffry cooper: geocentric watch



the geocentric watch concept is the creation of designer geoffry cooper. the idea for this exposed
wristwatch is inspired by the motion of the planets orbiting around the sun. the watch face is composed
of two rings which are always in motion. the time is told by seeing where the two inner rings are located
in respect to the outside ring. the inner most ring is used to represent seconds while the middle ring
signifies minutes. the watch has a simple white plastic band that highlights the exposed inner workings
of the watch on the face.

Judging from the pictures the watch is just a concept. The exposed mechanism is a basic manual wind and not a developed orbit mechanism. Actually, this system of telling time is been executed by "blu watches", all mechanical, stunning.
