Ultratime 001 Watch
Ultratime 001 Watch is an innovative timepiece that exemplifies the fusion of avant-garde design principles with functional precision, distinguished by its unique dual-disc time display system. Created by designers Bob Lei, Fever Chu, and Jay Chan, this sophisticated watch features an unconventional approach to time-telling through irregularly arranged numerals presented on separate hour and minute discs, complemented by a distinctive silver/gold plating marker on sapphire crystal glass that enables quick time reading. The design, inspired by spacecraft speedometers and space exploration themes, demonstrates exceptional attention to detail in its execution, incorporating a 42mm 316L stainless steel case with a minimal 8mm height profile. The watch's technical specifications include a Japanese quartz Miyota 2034 movement, ensuring reliable timekeeping, while the sapphire crystal lens provides superior scratch resistance and clarity. This horological creation, which earned the prestigious Platinum A' Design Award in the Jewelry Design category, represents a significant achievement in contemporary watch design, combining aesthetic innovation with practical functionality. The timepiece's construction features a water resistance rating of 3ATM and comes with options for genuine leather straps in black, white, or brown, demonstrating a commitment to both durability and customization. The development process, spanning from May 2014 to November 2015, involved meticulous refinement to achieve its clean, minimalist aesthetic while maintaining technical sophistication.
