- Design company Andoando launched a bracelet clock inspired by rotating plate
- The design is inspired by the classic Technics SL-1200
- The shipment is deployed in April, but the collection is limited to only 30 pieces
Design Company Andoando is taking Hamilton Brothers funky Music makes the world say Very seriously in its next Wrop Watches launch, which are an ode of the best headdresses in the world. The company’s last creative company takes the legendary DJ rotating plate, the Technics SL-1200, and reinvents it as automatic surveillance for music and vinyl fans, which makes it the smallest rotating platform I have seen (although in reality it cannot turn a melody), and it is adorable.
Promoted by the Miyota 9039 Premium automatic movement, the clock is a small replica of the legendary DJ rotating plate that uses a small vinyl record as the face of the clock. Your attention to detail is admirable, going to the distance to avoid including numbers in your design and, instead, use a different pattern of points to indicate the hours, minutes and seconds. And again, no, you can’t turn real vinyl records or play music of any kind, but that would be very impressive, right?
It is a unique version of a classic deck (and the opportunity to use your analog heart on your wrist), however, you can take some time to get used to when it comes to deciphering real time, and its designer, Yu Ando, apparently agrees. When referring to the hand of the clock minute in the description of the product online, I write: “Yes, it is not straight, it does not point (a) the marker of a straight minute, but so that it can interpret it in its own way.” Ok, I still want one.
The hand of the minute is designed to replicate the rotating tonlon, hence its slightly folded form, and sit at the top of the vinyl record are two rotating discs; A large with the letter ‘A’ that points to the current time, and a smaller one that shows the past seconds, which can be difficult to read, although I have declared that when the text on the disc is level and back to its original position, that indicates that the second zero has begun.
The clock is available to book now, and is available in three different finishes; Red, black, silver, or gold and black, both for $ 438 (which costs around £ 350 or au $ 697), or a totally golden slightly more expensive version to $ 455. The shipment will be processed in April, but according to the website of Andoandoando there will only be 30 pieces made for this edition, so it is a very limited race.
