02. Knot 0hundred Timepiece (above)
“The name and the design focus of the Knot 0hundred Timepiece is quite fitting, given its designers’ history in the auto industry– it looks like it was born in a high end motor studio.

However, their work here is truly stunning, and the shape of this watch is obviously a response to its functional needs.” (coolist)
