London-based Industrial Facility is a progressive industrial design office that explores the junction between industrial design and the world around them. They have designed ‘Bottle’, a watch that resembles the bottom of a regular glass beverage bottle.
Bottle is a unisex, analog watch. It has exactly sixty raised nodules around the perimeter of the watch face, similar the bottom of a glass beverage bottle.
Designed for Nava, an Italian accessories company, Bottle is water resistant and available in colors like brown ale, green wine, clear spirit and blue water, like the colors glass bottles typically are.
Bottle’s designers explain: "We noticed that there are often exactly sixty of these nodules found on a typical beer bottle where the function is to avoid suction between the bottle and a table surface. This observation makes a useful correlation to the units of timekeeping and replicating these nodules creates a strikingly iridescent appearance when light hits its face at different angles."
It is available for purchase via Retail Facility.
