Hatch Black

The Hatch Black by Projects Watches is the dark version of the Hatch, a quartz design watch born from the hatching technique. On a black IP case and black dial, two red circles chase each other to tell the time: a bold look for lovers of graphic design and strong contrast.

Red circles on black

As time changes, so does one's perspective. The Hatch was created to show that ever-changing view, drawing on hatching, the technique that creates value and shade with closely spaced parallel lines: through the day the lines cross and the dial keeps transforming.

On the Hatch Black the circles chasing each other to show minute and hour are red, while a white second hand stretches across the dial as a simple reminder of the beauty of perspective. Design by Alvaro Alvarez and Maria Lopez.
