"A perfectly useless afternoon", a watch poetry

"A perfectly useless afternoon" is a creation by Kristof Devos. It is much more than just a watch: it is an invitation to daydream. The dial, in a soothing pool blue, features a swimmer on his yellow buoy that turns gently over the hours. The patterns reminiscent of the ripples of water add to the serene atmosphere of the whole. The steel case, with its clean lines, is enhanced by a bright blue fabric strap with red stitching that adds a touch of character. The inscription on the back of the case "A perfectly useless afternoon" perfectly sums up the spirit of this watch: a celebration of moments of pause, an ode to the art of doing nothing. What is particularly appealing about this piece is its refreshing approach to displaying time. No numbers or traditional hands, but a swimmer strolling through his aquatic world, reminding us that it is sometimes good to let time pass without counting it. A watch that will not fail to attract attention and spark conversations, perfect for lovers of creative watchmaking who are looking for a piece that goes off the beaten track. The swimmer represents the hours and the floating duck the minutes. Highlights: - Original and poetic design - Excellent readability despite the unconventional display - Neat finishes - Subtle philosophical message A piece that proves that watchmaking can be both playful and meaningful. NB: there is the phrase "designed in Belgium and made in London" on the back of the watch, plausibly a nod to the "designed in California, made in China" of APPLE products? Let me know what you think.
