Another stunning and spectacular works of technology on today’s generation can also be shown in timepieces. Like this Alessi retro-styled Daytimer digital watch with OLED screen by Will Aslop. A very much original 70s/80s digital. It has a features of an equally contemporary OLED screen to offer up the time and date, along with nine graphic displays that show when you don’t need the time. The strap and case are made of polyurethane, with an acrylic glass screen, selling in various colours for £79. This Alessi retro-styled Daytimer digital watch with OLEDscreen are originally made by Seiko. Daytimer is formed of Alsop’s vision of objects in the world. We see it present in the landscape, it has landed in the universe of objects, naturally effortless. It has a smart adaptable docile form, which encases its technological core while at the same time it is iconic and natural. Although apparently clumsy, Daytimer wraps complacently round the wearer’s wrist, presenting the owner with its 3D display; the OLEDscreen conveniently turning towards its owner and wanting to play. Daytimer wants to be owned by its wearer, although inevitably
it will attract the attention of others. Daytimer polygonises a human wrist. It loves humans and it wants to be close to them. Or part of them.
