Hatch

The Hatch by Projects Watches is a quartz design watch that shows time as an ever-changing perspective. Instead of traditional hands, two black circles chase each other over a grey dial: it is for anyone who wants a graphic yet understated watch in brushed steel.

Hatching that changes with time

As time changes, so does one's perspective, and we are constantly reminded how differently one thing can be read by many. The Hatch was created to show that ever-changing perspective. It uses the hatching technique, which creates value and shade with closely spaced parallel lines: through the day those lines form a cross-hatching pattern and the face of the watch keeps evolving.

In this version two black circles chase each other across the dial to show the minute and hour, while a single white second hand stretches across the dial as a simple reminder of the beauty of perspective. Design by Alvaro Alvarez and Maria Lopez.
