Frank
Gehry, a well-known Canadian-American architect, designed a men watch for the
brand Fossil a few years ago. This very special and unusual timepiece doesn’t
have a numerical display like the ones we are used to. Instead, the time is
represented in handwriting and written as it would be said by lazy people. For
example, 9:52 is written as “8 til 10”. These numbers appear on a large LED
screen and can show the time in positive space as well as in negative space.
This is where the name of the watch comes from which simply is “Positive /
Negative”.
The
architect is usually known for his eye-popping buildings all over the world,
such as the titanium-covered Guggenheim Museum in Bilbo or the Walt Disney
Concert Hall in Los Angeles. By simply looking at his buildings, you can see
Gehry’s innovative spirit what makes it even more special to wear a piece of
unique design around your wrist. In fact, all the letters on the Positive /
Negative Watch are written in Gehry’s own handwriting.
The watch
was originally priced at $150 by Fossil. Unfortunately, the only ones that you
can still find today are sold on Ebay at higher prices.
