One of the most exciting and transformative watch makers on the scene today, Android is known for designs that push the limit of watch making, pushing the art into the 21st century through the vision of its owner and chief designer, Wing Liang. Before making the final decision on your next brand new wristwatch, take a moment to consider some of these exhilarating models by Android.
Androids take on rather classic design, as exhibited by the Savant Automatic Ionic Plated Leather Strap Watch, serves as a perfectly appropriate introduction to the fascinating world of Android design for the uninitiated. This handsome piece makes the most of the contrast between organic and synthetic materials to produce a well balanced result.
The watchs polished gold tone stainless steel case provides the meeting place that marries the rugged brown leather strap, adorned with two rows of white stitching on either side, to the body of the piece. The matching round bezel secures a layer of scratch resistant hardened mineral crystal and frames a colorful dial, available in your choice of blue or brown.
The dial itself is ringed with a rotating second counting ring, adjustable with a crown fixed to the case. The inner circle features large Arabic numerals at the 12, 3, 6 and 9 oclock positions with markers at all other hours. A rotating date window appears between 4 and 5 oclock and the Android logo is emblazoned just north of center.
The watchs luminescent hands are powered by its accurate Japanese Miyota 8215 automatic movement. For a closer look at the pieces delicate inner workings, youll appreciate the generous exhibition window on the back of the case. An updated version of a classic design, this watch is certain to turn heads wherever you take it.
For a representation of Androids more daring design sensibilities, look no further than the Ameoba Swiss Quartz GMT Rubber Strap Watch. The first thing anyone will notice about this particular piece is its distinct rubber strap, available in black, white, hunter green, yellow, orange or blue, that seems to mold itself about the casea bit like an amoeba.
The simple, clean lined strap finds its transition to the more intricate face by way of the simple stainless steel bezel, which is adorned with six accent screws. The face itself is protected beneath a layer of hardened mineral crystal and is ringed on the outer edge with a 24 hour scale. Arabic numerals appear at all positions around the inner dial and a date window appears near 3 oclock.
This distinct timepiece also features a special hand, affixed to the center hub, that points consistently to Greenwich Mean Time on the outer scale. All the watchs hands are powered by Swiss Ronda 515.24 quartz movement, meaning this showstopper will remain reliable and accurate for many years to come.
If a watch with less organic inspiration is more your speed, you may really appreciate Androids Concept-T Swiss Quartz Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch. This handsome piece is Androids version of the classic link bracelet watch. Its silver tone stainless steel band is composed of five rows of staggered but uniformly sized links that end in a deployant clasp.
The bracelet meets the matching stainless steel case gracefully and is overtaken almost immediately by the formidable looking brushed silver tone bezel, which is set with rugged accent bolts at each hour position. The bezel secures a layer of scratch resistant hardened mineral crystal, which in turn protects the watchs distinct dial.
Available in your choice of blue, charcoal, orange or purple, the dial sparkles with a textured pyramid pattern in the background to offset silver tone hour markers at every position. The face is also marked with a rotating date window and luminescent skeletonized hour and minute hands that are powered by the watchs reliable ISA Swiss Quartz 2331/103BD movement. A perfectly integrated and well balanced piece of art, this timepiece would please even the pickiest of watch collectors.
