Time Abstracted reinvents the classic form of a watch and abstracts classic time telling, to create beautiful Jewelry-esque watches.

    Watches in their current forms have existed since the 1860s, and have since become a common household object. Through the years their purpose has moved beyond based purely on functionality, and now are also used as a status symbol. Like jewelry, watches express personal style, and wealth. This project explores watches as a form of jewelry, by abstracting their form into more traditional bracelet silhouettes. 3-D modeling softwares such as Rhino and Grasshopper were used to model two unique watch designs. The first watch resembles a classic bangle, and the second takes a more organic form, inspired by ocean corals.
