Otium Trigulateur Watch
March 31st, 2009 by Brian
Here is a different kind of a watch taking the place of usual clock hands. We have seen some watches integrate time hands with small subdials but that could perhaps make it confusing to tell time or if not, pointless. Using a modified Swiss ETA manually-wound 6497-1 movement, Otium is able to place three subdials to tell the time (hours, minutes, and seconds) against a perlage polished dial.
Design influence is classic race cars, but with an emphasis on luxury. I’d day that the best modern car to pair with watch with is the Dutch car maker Spyker, who has a similar use of colors, perlage, polishing and finely milled metal. While difficult to tell in this image, the three subdials are actually raised a bit like small portholes, really reminiscent of early race car technology and style.
The actual layout of the dials is meant to resemble speedometers and accompanying gauges such as a tachometer. With a 42mm wide stainless steel case and sapphire crystal (top and bottom), the Triangulator watch is available with white or black colored subdials and brown or black Louisiana crocodile straps. The crown has been oriented in a “lefty position” which might make it difficult to manually wind while still on your wrist, unless of course you wear your watch on your right hand.
