The Klokers Klok-01 Watch presents a novel approach to the analog watch movement. With a design influenced by the slide rule (a tool found on many aviation watches that allows one to do simple calculations on the fly), the numbers on the face are divided into three rotating rows. The outer rim shows hours, the middle minutes and the central circle displays seconds. This design reverses the conventional approach of stationary numbers and turning hands, with a singular line pointing upward that the rotating numbers pass over to indicate the current time, like laps on a racetrack. After one grows accustomed to this design, it could prove to be a quicker way to determine the time than has been the norm for so many years. And with a streamlined design that allows for bracelet customization, it proves that time and again there will always be a niche for analog movements alongside digital and smart watches. The bracelets in fact can be worn without the watch, or abandoned in lieu of a chain to transform it into a pocket watch, ensuring it is an accessory for any style or occasion.

Amid the unrest of earning his Bachelor’s degree in Architecture from RISD, Nathaniel manages to find the time to read, write, hang out with friends, play drums, and listen to music. Nathaniel has learned a lot about architecture firsthand thanks to opportunities to live and work in Rome and Brooklyn during the past year. Coming from a family with strong roots in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, Nathaniel has always maintained a strong love for NYC especially, and after his studies finish up in Providence he may move there for a while. He hasn't decided yet. You can connect with him via Linkedin or by visiting his Portfolio page.
