27. A watch with a unique way of telling time

Bradley x Dezeen Watch, available at Eone Watch, $285

Eone is a watch brand with the goal of making watches both fashionable and accessible for everyone. The founder, Hyungsoo Kim, learned from a blind friend that there were very few options for those living with visual impairment, and even fewer of them were fashionable. It was either talking watches (too loud) or tactile ones (impracticably fragile).

Eone has just about reinvented the watch, far as I'm concerned. All you have at work here are two magnets controlling two stainless steel bearing balls held in place by a recessed track, with one running around the circumference of the matte-titanium watch face telling the hour and the other, within the watch face, denoting the minute within. The hours are marked by small pronounced steel ticks that make up the dial.

Apart from the artfulness of it, this watch has also made me immensely more grateful for my vision. We could all stand to wear a little more humility and gratitude in our day to day lives, and Eone has helped me do just that. —Owen Burke, senior reporter
