PICTO WATCHES 40MM
MUSTARD YELLOW
As striking as it is simple, the Picto watch
tells the time by rotating both its face and
a single hand. A white dot on the face
indicates the hour, while the hand sweeps
around once an hour, thus indicating
minutes. Such a face might take some
getting used to, but we think it looks great
- especially in the unusual mustard and
white colour combo shown here with
Picto’s ‘thunder grey’ silicone strap. The
polished steel case is 40mm in diameter,
accepts 20mm straps, and houses a Miyota
2025 quartz movement. Also available with
white or grey dials, and a 30mm case.

ARNE JACOBSEN BANKERS
This striking timepiece by Arne Jacobsen is
all about the details. Just look at the hour
markers; each is made of 12 empty squares
with one filled in to denote the number.
Arguably pointless for anyone who can read
the time, but a lovely piece of clean Danish
design with character, as is the red centre
point. Powered by a Miyota GL26 quartz
movement, the watch is offered with four
different stainless steel case size options
ranging from a compact 30mm to a huge
16mm, with leather strap sizes varying
accordingly. The Bankers has a concave
dial and convex M2 glass front, and is
water resistant to 3 ATM. It's also available
as wall or bedside clocks.

SLOW ROUND 11
Ever find the progress of normal watch
hands just a bit too... fast? Then try out the
Slow Round 11. Like all Slow watches, the
Round 11 has just one hand, which sweeps
oh-so-slowly around a 24-hour dial.
Midday sits in the 12 o’clock position, as
you’d expect. But midnight is at what would
be the six o’clock position on a regular
watch. You’ll probably find it tricky to tell
the exact time but that’s the point of Slow’s
watches; chill out, and remind yourself the
difference between 14:23 and 14:24 is
inconsequential. This Swiss-made
timepiece features a 40mm stainless steel
case with a sapphire crystal and housing a
Ronda 515.24 quartz movement.
