The problem is that the magnetic field around a magnet interfer with the analog mechanism, by preventing metal parts to move correctly, and will destroy it. ( we should never let/put an analog watch close to ANY magnets or thing that contain magnets, or near a working MRI device and definitely not wear one when we are inside one. ) Another nice idea, which would give the same overall look is a band like the "time it" watch have : there's a soft, pliable, metal sheet in the band and a small magnet on the tip of one of the band. You hit your wrist with the band and it wrap around your wrist. ( but it has an electronic movement ) They can put some magnets but not all around the band.

The magnets are a nice idea but it can interfer with the watch mechanism. I like the phosphorescent edges and the position of the indicators.

Joseph, I hope youyouyouyou get the chance ;) Dirk, wow that's a nice story. Other watches can handle different wrist sizes too but I think magnets make it pretty comfortable. And minimalistic - cool that you appreciate this. Thanks so much for the comment! Firfir :) Thank you too for your support! Moorow, not here please, tell this your other incarnations too. But hey, the best way to have a doctoral degree is graduating from college first :) New comments!

I will propose to notice for the <a href="http://exclusivethesis.com" rel="nofollow">dissertation</a> service to order the thesis research about this good post from. We tried that and got really good level. All students want to receive a doctoral degree, but what is the best way to have it?

I like this minimalist yet cryptic design. Everything not a new things and look like some of previous Sam's watches, but that is a good way to maintain your design identity while introducing new idea. I give this 5* banzai Simply cool cooking watch. I like this minimalist yet cryptic design.

I just came by and wanted to purchase the Oberon watch just to see it isn't available any more. And the I was surfing the concept watches and it hit me having seen this concept. I like the idea of the magnets pretty well since I don't have to care about the wrist size anymore and if this watch is going to get real I will purchase it right away. It represent what I want from a watch: minimalism and then, when realizing it is a watch seeing the emotions in the faces of others. Go TF, this is certainly an amazing concept and it would be really different to the other watches available. No LED, no blingbling and in a league like the EleeNo. Whta the hell?

I think the overall material choice would allow a waterproof design. Cool money attitude and 5* rating is also cool. Thank you Pavel! Gordon, omnomnom. JP, wow someone must hire you as design critic - sounds so good! You mention my exact intention, leaving all unnecessary details away. I agree, this watch does not yell HERE I AM but when it gets realized it says HI DARLING, CHECK ME OUT hehehe. Thank you for the nice comment and your will to try this watch! DZ, choochoo, thanks for the words and the rating! I'm not sure what happened. I can just believe, the subtlety of the watch does not appeal widely - would be ok ;) Here we go :D

I'm not sure where to begin on this one. The watch calls for minimalism, and it delivers on all accounts. The buttons are gone, the hands are gone, the clasp is gone, and the face is integrated into one seamless band. With so little happening, one would expect this watch to touch on monotony. Instead, there's a subtle broadening at the face, and a slight curl on the hands: aspects that stand out so much more because of the quiet minimalist appeal. The watch is almost a bracelet, and might even go unnoticed by friends. But when they do notice it, this watch will bring nothing but compliments. With my personal style, I don't know if I could wear this... but I'll damn well try! Wow, what a nice little piece of minimalism we have here. I’m not sure where to begin on this one.
