Slide Nr 2Terra Time Watch – Social etiquette says we should avoid checking our watch too often when talking to someone, and we would normally agree with that: unless we’re talking about this head-turning timepiece. Even the strictest of all interlocutors would probably cut you some slack when they catch sight of this unique design alluding to a range of striking landscapes, from stone quarries to terraced rice paddies. The watch hands seem to sink into the mysterious canyon and pull your eye with them – just don’t get drawn in too far, and be late for your next appointment.
