Despite its name, the Crystal Clear actually sports an red face, not a clear one. The watch features a smooth black…

I’m always struck by the graceful simplicity of Phillipe Starck’s watch designs. His latest creations are as dramatic as anything else I’ve seen in his past collections. The highlight of these as-yet-unnamed watches is their unique see-through case design.

I was over on the Fossil website earlier today and stumbled onto this image of a new series of OLED (organic light emitting diode) based men’s watches that hasn’t yet been released.

You can always count of Fossil to crank out some über-cool wristwatches. One of their latest creations mashes up the analog and digital worlds in a brilliant way.
The minute I saw Fossil’s Ana-Digi watch, I was reminded of that classic Star Trek episode with the half-white, half-black races who hated each other because of the…
