Noon Watch!

I love this watch very much! I find the watch very interesting as they use discs instead of the normal hands to tell time. The concept is based on the kaleidoscope. The picture below shows the construction of the watch and the discs itself.


Time as shown by the discs. The dial colour changes with the time.


Anyway, a bit about noon. The two founders of noon copenhagen is Michael Slipsager and Jan Lovmand. Together they formed noon in 2006. They wanted to develop a watch that is affordable, offers good if not great value for money and tell time in an innovative way. They decided on using the turning discs and worked with Henrik Sorig, a well known Danish industrial designer to launch the collection you see below.

The case back. You can see the quality in the construction of the watches.
