In the final picture, the art of watchmaking is not dissimilar from architecture.  In one, sturdy geometric forms rise sharply from the wrist, in another, solid structures arise from concrete.  The fusion of these forms has been explored by Alessi and architects Will Alsop and Federico Grazzini in the Alessi Daytimer Watch.  This purple polyurethane watch (also available in green, black and red) features triangular patterns surrounding a simple OLED digital display.  The time isn’t the main attraction on this watch, it is the unusual and refreshing band which demands the attention of every pair of eyes it meets.  Available for $120 at EmmoHome.
