About.

A competition organized by Titan in collaboration with yanko titled “RETROFUTURISM CHALLENGE” is about marrying the golden yesteryears with the uncharted tomorrows, creating designs that resonate with the warmth of nostalgia yet pulse with the promise of the future. Your mission, should you choose, is to rethink, reimagine, and reinvent objects that define our daily lives.

Brief.

To Design an analog watch adhering to the theme of Retro-futurism. To bring a sense of nostalgia with a sense of futurism, which caters to both aesthetics and functionality.

Research.

As the brief was very precise, the 2 main points to consider was to understand the target group and the type of CMF. I aimed at catering "gen-z" and "millennials" who have seen a transition from analog to digital, keeping a CMF inspired from old grandfather watches with a retro look.

Ideation.

The watch's main purpose, the "time" is positioned uniquely. Hour dial, minute dial, AM/PM dial, and my favorite the colored representation of the day’s progression dial, from stars at night to the bright orange sunrises.

Every part is well thought out and designed, from the magnetic watch straps, sensors to track steps, pulse rate etc, A digital display that reminds you of the retro digital watches and the classic feel of controlling the watch with its crown.

Prototype.

Visualized in the three different CMFs the Legacy watch strikes a perfect balance to the theme of retro-futurism. I was keen on Incorporating important features which are present in today's digital watches. Yet at the same time having it look like a classic analog watch, with a twist.
