Extraordinary Time Machines Inside!

We're officially launching The Vault, a curated collection of high end independent mechanical watch brands. Watchismo is an authorized dealer of timepieces from Devon, Azimuth, Meccaniche Veloci, RSW, Ritmo Mvndo and U-Boat watches. Many more brands and independent watchmakers are being added soon, so be sure to check out The Vault at Watchismo... 'The Times they are a-changin'.

Enter THE VAULT

DEVON is a reinvention of the watch. The Tread 1, daring and inventive, represents the exploratory American spirit. The exposed movement is a mesmerizing display of the patented interwoven system of conveyor belts. This series of belts includes critical elements that allow the optical recognition system to know every belt position at all times.

AZIMUTH starts with a thought; a contemplation of our place on this planet. A mathematical term which defines the arc of a horizon from a reference point, it is a mode of measurement used by astrologers, navigators and military men to survey their bearings. But more importantly, Azimuth represents a cerebral pursuit - a reflection of Time and Space as determined by the word's Arabic roots, which translates to mean "route taken by a traveler".

U-BOAT Watches, just like their original namesake, these watches are bold, aggressive and oversized. These timepieces embody force and style and reveal the unique personality of the man behind the revival, Italo Fontana. Every individual U-Boat watch is handcrafted in Italy and each tiny detail is overseen by Italo Fontana himself.

MECCANICHE VELOCI is Italian for "Mechanical Speed", these are time machines that expertly combine motoring engineering and the sophisticated, high-end world of watches. In short, a solid project driven by a powerful vocation – a deep passion for engines.

Enter Meccaniche Veloci Watches

RITMO MVNDO - Architecture, geography and time integrated by commonality of culture, heritage and history are hallmarks of RITMO wristwatches. The offering provides fresh, innovative inspiration fit for any modern lifestyle. With unique details such as Persepolis’ orbital cases or special edition diamond models RITMO Italian and Swiss techniques redefine the independent watch market.

Enter Ritmo Mvndo Watches

RSW's neo-brutalist design pays homage to futurism, oblique architecture, the super computers and the first electronic musical instruments. Anxious to create a timeless object, it is also a male symbol and not easily transferable. At the same time, serious and unique, mature and childish. Outland is presented like a strong and very masculine watch without complexity, a courageous contemporary object turned towards the future. RSW develops the theme of the compass in the way of indicating time.

DEVON TREAD 2 SNEAK PEEK - The Eagerly Anticipated Follow-Up to its Groundbreaking Tread 1

noreply@blogger.com (Watchismo) — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 16:01:27 PST

MADE IN THE USA

DEVON ANNOUNCESDETAILS OF THE EAGERLY ANTICIPATED FOLLOW-UP TO ITS GROUNDBREAKING TREAD 1, THEDEVON TREAD 2

The DEVON Tread 1 wasnominated for the GRAND PRIX D’HORLOGERIE DE GENÈVE in 2010 for Best Designand Concept Watch among a field of very storied and esteemed brands, the firsttime an American watch company had ever been included in the competition. Now DEVON is building upon the success of theTread 1 with another groundbreaking design called Tread 2. The Tread 2 will deliver DEVON’spatent-pending Time Belt technology in a package that’s more sophisticated thanthe avante-garde Tread 1.

“As with the Tread 1, the DEVON Tread 2 will continue tobe developed within the United States Aerospace industry's network of suppliersand engineers. We’ve become known forpushing the envelope of acceptability, and The Tread 2 incorporates manyinnovative features that have never before been seen in the world of hautehorlogerie,” said Scott Devon, the company’s founder.

A few of the most obvious innovations are a one-of-a-kindclamp system that is used to secure the bezel to the case, the four distinctivelugs which help to define the shape of the watch as well as the crown’sunmistakably unique articulating arm. All of these features give theTread 2 a unique depth of character.

The movement, similar to the Tread 1, relies heavily onaerospace technology. For instance, the glass-reinforcedNylon Time Belts used to display the current time were adapted directly fromaircraft instrumentation. The belt assemblies remain mounted on a centralchassis, which allows for the perfect clearance of the moving parts whilecreating the illusion that the parts are floating within the case. Twoextremely compact micro-step motors drive the movement of the hour and minutebelts with efficiency, exacting power, and steadfast accuracy. Thelubricant-free pulley system moves freely thanks to the integration of jeweledbearings.

A temperature-compensating and calibrated quartz crystalprovides an extremely accurate time-keeping signal to the onboardmicroprocessor that controls the movement’s two micro-step motors. Powerfor this “Visual Symphony” is provided by a rechargeable lithium-polymerbattery. When a recharge is necessary, simply placing the watch onto itscharging cradle will wirelessly charge the battery through the use ofelectromagnetic induction.

DEVON will be debuting the watch at March’s BaselworldWatch and Jewelry Show in private showings to retailers and press. Production will begin shortly thereafter anddeliveries are scheduled to commence in June, 2012.

Sneak Peek to Baselworld 2012 - HYT H1 - the first timepiece ever to combine mechanical and liquid engineering.

noreply@blogger.com (Watchismo) — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 14:17:08 PST

What are we getting excited to see at the 2012 Baselworld Watch Fair in Switzerland? Topping our growing list is the HYT H1 Hydro-Mechanical watch from Vincent Perriard & co. (former CEO of Concord - and his obvious product predecessor, the C1). Prices are rumored to begin at $45,000 (for Titanium casing) which is considerably more attainable than other concept watches of this ilk.

Pistons in the movement move the bellows. As one expands the other one compresses which moves the green Fluorescein liquid. Fluorescein even has applications in forensics to detect latent blood stains but this is likely a first and only use in horology!

We'll be showcasing live shots in early March 2012, stay tuned to The Watchismo Times!

Movement: Mechanical hand-wound, exclusive HYT calibre, 28,800 vph, 4 Hz, 35 jewels, bridges hand-chamfered and adorned with Côtes de Genève, rhodiumed bellows, 65-hour power reserve

Functions: Retrograde fluid hours, minutes, seconds

Case: Titanium; diameter: 48.8 mm, thickness: 17.9 mm brushed, bead-blasted and satin-brushed finish, rubber-clad screw-lock crown, titanium crown guard, screw-locked added lugs, metal dome at 06:00

Crystal: Cambered sapphire crystal with glareproofed interior, screw-down sapphire back

Dial: Unstructured, silver-toned opaline, fluid hours, luminescent hands and hour-markers regulator at 12:00, small seconds wheel at 09:30, power-reserve indicator at 02:30

Click Watches introduces the new KEYPAD Watch Hidden Time collection

noreply@blogger.com (Watchismo) — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 08:58:49 PST

TIME IS CLICKING...

Click Watches introduces the new KEYPAD Hidden Time collection

Retrogadget watch pioneer 'Click Watches' and Watchismo are proud to introduce the KEYPAD, the second in a series of electronic glory day concept watches.

A chunky number pad and no distinguishable display adds up to a cool new way to showcase the time!

Click here to see the Keypad Watches

"Keypad Watch is ridiculously awesome, awesomely ridiculous"
-PCWorld

"The Keypad watch looks like the number pad on any computer keyboard, and you press (almost) any one of those keys to ask the time. The watch then blinks lights embedded in the keys, one by one, to tell you the hour. Thus a zero, then a nine, a one and a five means 09:15. Easy enough, if a little time consuming."

"The Keypad watch comes in a variety of computer-drab colors, from cheap PC beige thru gamer black to a horrible 1980s gray (my favorite). Better still, they come at a price you could reasonably badger your spouse into paying to buy you the perfect Christmas gift."
-WIRED

What others are saying...

"A watch that not only shows off your geek cred, but also looks at home in an office and does away with the typical watch face design? If something totally crazy is something that would float your boat, consider the very quirky Keypad Watch.
The only thing watch-like about the Keypad Watch is the strap. From there, it gets completely crazy and impratical--but in such a cool way. The actual watch face is made up of the keys you would expect to find on a calculator or the keypad on a PC's keyboard, each fitted with little lights. Pressing the keypad makes the lights blink in a sequence to inform you of the time (for example, it'll flash 0-7-3-0 if it's 7:30), but you'd have to keep a close eye to make sure you're getting it right!
These retro-styled watches can display the time using both the 24-hour system or 12-hour system, show today's date (by pressing the hash), and come in a variety of key colors. This individuality comes at a price: You'll have to put aside $90 to cover the cost. Still, you can't deny that this watch is so daft that it's awesome."
-PC WORLD

"Watchismo's badass new multicolored Click Keypad Watches are the followup to the equally badass (and be-dipswitched) Click Watches. Animated blinkenlights on each of the chunky keypad buttons tell the time in a fashion that is delightfully impractical."
-BOINGBOING

"The only thing keypads are used for these days are quick calculations, so you'd expect this Keypad watch to double as a tiny calculator. But it doesn't. While the buttons work, all it does is tell time and look awesomely retro. The $89 watch lacks a display, but telling time isn't as obfuscated as with other design-minded timepieces. The numerical buttons simply light up in sequence when pressed. So if you see 1-2-3-4, then it's 12:34—pretty damn simple. Pressing the # button will instead indicate the current date, and as far as I'm concerned, the clever packaging which incorporates the keypad into a full keyboard graphic is worth the price of admission alone."
-GIZMODO

"If you like the idea of carrying a keypad around with you on your wrist, you might want to check out the Click Keypard LED Watch from Watchismo. This unique watch doesn’t have a display, but tells you the time."
-UBERGIZMO

"Numeric keypads have had a rough decade — the proliferation of laptop keyboards has all but turned the 18-key marvel into a dinosaur. Sure, there are those of us who rely on its number-punching skills to fill out Excel spreadsheets, but for your day-to-day computer user, it's just a thing of the past. If you've been missing the old number pad, Click has just what you're looking for: an absolutely massive numpad-inspired watch."
-THE VERGE

"Looking for a truly unusual watch? These geeky new watches look sort of like those Casio calculator watches, but without the LCD screen. The Click Keypad watch actually uses the numbered keys on the front of the watch to tell time instead of for doing math."

F*CK CANCER & LOVE HEALTH - New limited edition watches from Mr. Jones

noreply@blogger.com (Watchismo) — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 09:49:57 PST

F*CK CANCER!

SHOW THE WORLD HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT IT.

Cancer is a terrifying disease that touches most of us at some time. The message this watch displays is the most aggressive assertion possible that we will not let cancer overshadow our lives and that the human spirit cannot be overwhelmed.
The word cancer is one of the most terrifying in the English language - we fear reading it and dread having to write it. Here it is paired with the word fuck, a crude, offensive word that demands to be read. Here these two ultra-negative words cancel each other out - the sentiment of the two combined is one of hope: a rejection of the fear that cancer brings.
This watch is produced in a very limited edition of 100 pieces, each one numbered on the case back and signed by the designer, Crispin Jones, on the insert card.

10% of the sale price of this watch will be donated to the charity 'Stand Up To Cancer.'

**Get your Mr. Jones F*CK CANCER HERE**

LOVE HEALTH

Very limited edition, don't miss out!

Love health is the companion to the raw aggression of F*ck cancer. The message is a reminder that we should cherish our health, and that we should not take it for granted.
The double positive of the words combines to produce a sense of well being and comfort. The wearer is reminded of this positive message every time they glance at the time.
This watch is produced in an edition of 100 pieces, each one numbered on the case back and signed by the designer, Crispin Jones, on the insert card.

Mr Jones All Around The World Watch - Landmark Timekeeping!

noreply@blogger.com (Watchismo) — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 12:38:54 PDT

Mr Jones Watches 'All Around the World'

All Around the world has eight distinct hour hands. Each hand is a landmark building in a different time zone. You can see at a glance the time in the different zones by reading it off the angle of the building. A pigeon (the universal city dweller) marks the minutes. This watch is produced in an edition of 100 pieces, each one numbered on the case back and signed by the designer, Crispin Jones, on the insert card.

Mr. Jones produced a time lapse film of the watch running inside the clock tower of The Caledonian Park clock in London (many thanks to Alfie Dennen for facilitating this).

A new design from our fifth series. This watch allows you to visualise the time in different countries - eight are represented on the single hand.

From a distance the hour hand appears to be a graphic motif, upon closer inspection it resolves to show the detail of landmark buildings around the world.

The time is marked by:

Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco: GMT -8
Salt Lake Temple, Utah: GMT -7
Sears Tower, Chicago: GMT -6
Statue of Liberty, New York: GMT -5
Big Ben, London: GMT ±0
The Eiffel Tower, Paris: GMT + 1
Istambul's minarets: GMT + 2
Red Square, Moscow: GMT +3

The watch comes in an MJW presentation box which features a specially commissioned artwork by illustrator Beibei Nei (beibeinie.com).

Specifications:

Case: 316L stainless steel
Strap: Black leather with dark grey stitching
Width (3 o'clock to 9 o'clock): 37mm
Height (from lug to lug): 46mm
Mechanism: Single jewel quartz
Waterproof: 5ATM
Guarantee: 12 months

This special edition version of The Last Laugh features artwork by British Tattoo artist Adrian Willard. He works in a traditional old-school style using simple, bold lines and just 3 or 4 colors in his tattoos. He explains the sugar-skull design for the watch face, "skulls have always been a very popular subject in tattooing, a part of the rebel culture that it once represented. These days tattooing is quite mainstream but the skull remains the classic image. The sugar skull comes from a the Mexican Day of the Dead festival. The holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died. Many gifts and offerings are handed out, sugar skulls are gifts that can be given to both the living and the dead. It has become a very popular image in the tattoo world over recent years."

Click Dip Switch Watches - The Nerdiest Watches in the World!

noreply@blogger.com (Watchismo) — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 11:32:59 PDT

Spanking New Brand!

CLICK DIP SWITCH WATCHES

"These Click watches are probably the nerdiest timepieces we have ever seen. And we love them."

– Charlie Sorrel, Editor - Wired

These new watches are reaching back into the glory days of electronics for their inaugural Dip Switch and Turn Switch timepiece collections. If you look at the circuit boards of any 80's arcade game or electronic device, you'd find these switches. Designed to be used on a printed circuit board along with other electronic components and are commonly used to customize the behavior of an electronic device for specific situations.
Click Watches have ingeniously re-appropriated these 'retro-tronics' into an entirely new way to show digital watch functions. Each mechanical switch activates a different function of the watch as seen in the diagrams in the product pages. Functions ranging from bar graph metered time display, 12 hour and 24 hour digital time display, month, date, day of week and backlight. Stainless steel casing 42mm x 35mm. One of the best features is the actual circuit board packaging, see below...

Click Watches are available exclusively at Watchismo.com!

"It's like having a circuit board on your wrist, a geek flag, a hacking bandana. You. Like. Computers."

Mr. Jones The Accurate 'Remember You Will Die' Watch is now a Clock!

The Time of your life!

Mr Jones The Accurate "Remember you will Die" is now a Clock

The World's most Accurate clock

On this clock the hour hand reads "remember" and the minute hand "you will die". The dial of the clock is mirrored, reflecting the viewer in the clock face and making it clear that the message is directed at all of us. The clock is a link to the traditional 'memento mori' - an object designed to remind us that life is brief and that we should make the most of the time we have.

The Accurate is the first clock from Mr Jones Watches, the design is based on our best selling watch of the same name. The hands of the clock are laser cut into the letters and then painted on both sides (so that the text can be seen in the mirror-image on the dial).

New Mr. Jones Cyclops Watches "Summer Nights" for Men and Women

noreply@blogger.com (Watchismo) — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 15:06:16 PDT

Cyclops Summer Nights

Cyclops Summer nights is a special edition version of Mr. Jones Watches most popular designs - the Cyclops. This version has a black case and dial with an alternate arrangement of the colored hour markers. This is the unisex version of the design - it's also available in a smaller ladies dress-watch size.

The idea with Cyclops is that it can be read with a relaxed kind of accuracy - after all most of us don't need to know that it's 4:43 and 27 seconds, we need to know that it's about a quarter to five. The design dispenses with the conventional hour, minute and seconds hand; instead the time is read by observing the position of the white hoop as it moves around the colored dial.

New Alessi Jak Watches from Designer Karim Rashid

Alessi Jak Watches by Karim Rashid
(the follow up to his hugely successful Alessi Kaj watches)

Alessi Jak Watch - White Digital

Alessi Jak Watch - Black Digital

Alessi Jak Watch - Purple Digital

Alessi Jak Watch - Grey Digital

Functions include time display (hours, minutes, seconds) and calendar display (month, date). A backlight can be activated by a press of the button (A) on the left side. Auto calendar function: The calendar adjusts automatically at the end of a month including February of leap years. To be a simple watch, not only in design, but in ease of use, functions are kept to a carefully chosen minimum.

Simple case
Buttons to operate the digital displays are integrated into the case. Operation requires only the pushing of tiny dots on the side of the case.

Original styling
The case, band and buckle are made of soft, seamless urethane. The form is simple but making full use of the sensual, curved surface, characteristic of KARIM.

Genderless
This casual watch fits the wrist of any person.
Along with the genderless case design, there are 11 holes for size adjustment, enabling women with even very thin wrists to wear it enjoyably.

"I believe that it is important to not necessarily over-embellish objectsto keep a certain truth to a product, but I also believe that objects needs to touch our sensual side, they need to elevate certain experience, and they need to be human. I also believe that objects should be casual, simple, soft, but precise. I placed an analog mechanism in a perfect ovaloid that is symbolic of technology, the cosmos, passage and cyclic nature of Time. I think of my proposal as an extension of essensualism (reductive sensualism)." - Karim Rashid
