If you happen to know me, you are probably aware that one of my favorite accessories (after years of going without one and relying on my mobile phone instead) is my trusted Cluse watch. I am absolutely in love with its minimal design and ‘barely there’ sensation and am seldomly caught without it. That said, I have lately been itching to buy another, something with a slightly more ‘feminine’ vibe to it – possibly in rose gold, with some sort of nude or pastel strap. The obvious choice would be to stick with Cluse and maybe get a couple of the, exchangeable, straps while at it – right? Wrong… Enter Olivia Burton. Founded in London, by two best friends, back in 2011, the label makes some of the most gorgeously feminine watches I have come across.

Design Obsession of the Day…

It’s no big secret that I’m a big fan of anything gadget-y & tech-y, so there was absolutely no way I’d be able to resist what I bumped into the other day. Ladies & Gents, I present to you.. (drumroll please) .. the Ziiiro Mercury Watch: According to the company “Ziiiro Mercury displays time in a simple and unique way. The tip of the inner swirl represents the current hour, while the outer swirl displays the minutes, with a continuous gradient movement showing the passing through time.” Ain’t that totally sci- fi? Hehe… This fabulous piece of design comes in 5 colors (black-purple, black-magenta, black-ocean, silver-magenta and silver-ocean combos) and retails at 149€, with free international standard delivery. For more information (and the full array of products) you can visit the Ziiiro website. Ps. If you fancy a taste of what owning one of these would be like (and are an Apple fan), be sure to try the ZeroWatch App (available for iPhone, iPad & iPod Touch). {Image © Ziiiro}
