    Moonwatch





    The Emotion Lab, an industrial design studio, has created a new timepiece with the phases of the moon.

    [Expert from their website below]

    Moonwatch

    The moon has been a guide and object of admiration and mysticism during thousands of years. Agriculture, fertility, tidal patterns, human behaviour and many other activities have been linked to the different moon phases.

    Moonwatch has been designed to establish a relationship between the moon cycle and a person’s emotional states. It’s a new concept of time based on nature which invites people to reflect upon and gain a closer understanding of their mood and daily life on earth.

    La luna nos sirve de guía, y es objeto de admiración y misticismo desde cientos de años. La agricultura, la pesca, la fertilidad, la marea y muchas otras actividades han vinculado sus procesos al ciclo lunar. Este diseño centra su atención en la relación que se establece entre el ciclo lunar y los estados emocionales de las personas.

    Moonwatch promueve un nuevo concepto de tiempo basado en la naturaleza, invitando a la reflexión de nuestros estados de ánimo y sus repercusiones en la vida cotidiana.

    This is such an awesome concept and I love the minimalist design of the watch as well.

    ditto. I could actually see myself wearing something like this. and I've been anti-watch for years because they don't sync with natural time.

    The moon is the most consistent and natural way to tell time. I've always felt that having a series of months with an inconsistent number of days has inhibited our ability to truly synchronize with our environment.

    way to go emotionlab!
