Lunar

Lunar is Robert's project for timepiece company ZIIIRO. This watch creates a tie between the design and the nature of the object. If it wasn't a watch that naturally moves sunwise, it wouldn't be possible to read it. The edges of two semi-circles moving in clockwise direction show hours and minutes, they are both leveled at the same height which creates a flat surface. By the interlocking shapes, hands and watch face become one to create a constantly changing graphic.

Jupiter

Inside the Jupiter watch, steel spheres are rolling in hydraulically pressed channels, held in place by magnetic force. The wavelike dial is inset into the convex shaped crystal glass, which prevents the spheres from leaving their paths. A glass dome covering the top watch area transitions into the stainless steel casing seamlessly. With omission of a visible stem, watch hands or markings, there are no elements to distract from the time-telling spheres. Despite the absence of visible watch hands, a conventional quartz movement is being used to drive the planetary time indicator.

Janus

Janus is a wristwatch with two dials and an interchangeable strap. Both sides can be used, so the wearer can flip the case, switch dials and change straps to suit daily clothing and activities. One dial is driven by an automatic movement and the other by a quartz movement, which allows two time zones to be read. The case and the oversized lugs are made of stainless steel and receive a long polishing process. A concealed clipping system in the lugs holds the strap without extra moving parts. The straps are made of genuine leather.

Adesse

Adesse is an ultra-minimalist watch that acts as a memento to enjoy the present. The minimalist approach to becoming 'present' is to remove the unnecessary. Adesse reimagines the traditional analog watch with minimalist principles, and questions what is absolutely necessary to tell the time. Do you really need to see the numerical indicators? The minute hand? The hour hand? Designed through subtraction, traditional watch features are removed. A sculptural piece is carved out of the watch face. The face rotates, covering and deliberately revealing just enough to tell the time.

Bigbang

Bigbang is a mechanical wristwatch built around a multi-layer dial. The black and gold dial includes a hollow window on the right side, which shows the minute hand as a vertical movement instead of a circular one, expressing the passage of time. A 24-hour subdial with a double scale is large enough for easy reading and helps the wearer tell day from night. The thickness, height and hand length of each layer are closely controlled so that the hands remain well coordinated. The crown is placed between four and five o'clock for comfort.

Astronomer

Astronomer is a mechanical wristwatch with a panoramic moon phase display. The moon phase dial is enlarged to 28 millimeters in diameter and fills the entire dial plate, so the waxing and waning of the moon can be observed clearly. The dark blue dial is overlaid with silver and adorned with stars. The surface of the moon is reproduced with 3D printing technology. An infinitely adjustable clasp fits most wrists without holes in the strap, which simplifies manufacturing and saves materials. The strap can also be removed and replaced without tools.

Nu

Nu is a wristwatch with a water-filled dial. The dial holds water collected from some of the world's most polluted water sources, sterilized by ultraviolet light. Clear acrylic hands are submerged in the water and remain almost invisible. Touching the steel case activates a light-emitting diode that illuminates the hands to show the time. The case is topped with domed sapphire glass, and the strap is made of cactus leather. The form follows the contour of a dew drop resting on a leaf. The blue colour refers to the pristine ocean.

Just

Just is a wristwatch designed for quick and easy reading of the time. The case is flat and angled, and is thicker on the twelve o'clock side, so the dial faces the wearer. The time can be read without turning the wrist, for example while driving or while working with tools. A solid screw-in frame is fitted to the back of the case and replaces standard lugs, holding the 22 mm strap snugly. The position of the crown allows wear on the left or the right wrist. Five dial versions combine Arabic numerals and stick markers. The case measures 42 mm by 42 mm by 15 mm.

Minach

This minimal clock uses the simple movement of the hands to indicate time. The most important feature of this watch is its simple and attractive form as well as how to adjust its hands. Normally on most watches, the hands are adjustable with a button on the side of the body. But in this design, the time adjustment button is located in the middle of the body and on the hands.

Bennetti

Bennetti is a wristwatch designed to combine durability with a refined appearance. The case measures 40 mm in diameter and 12 mm in thickness, and the water resistance level is 5 ATM. The design began with quick hand sketches that resolved the smaller details. A full three-dimensional model was then created and rendered, and the case was 3D printed to confirm a comfortable fit on the wrist. The movement was reconfigured inside the case during the mechanical phase. The concept was completed in about three months.
