Meeting Kaelyn

Singapore is indeed a small place yet filled with surprises, one of it is this Microbrand (Horizon Timepiece). Like their model name, the brand and their kickstarter was in Stealth mode. I manage to meet up with Kaelyn, the bubbly owner of Horizon Timepiece over lunch and to try the Horizon Stealth Models.

 

Horizon Timepiece

Horizon Timepiece aspire to design ergonomic watches with a unique aesthetic. The Stealth Automatic is their first range of watches that are very unique from the other offering out there.

Stealth Automatic

Stealth Automatic is designed to read time discreetly. Meetings. Dates. Job interviews are some occasion that you do not want to be seen checking time. When seen checking time, it does shows that you rather be somewhere else (disinterest or being in a rush). 

A clever innovation was done for the watch, you are able to have a quick glance at the side of the watch. Let's check that out!

Telling Time the Stealth Way 
Read the time from where the arrow is pointing to. Each line after the number (hour) represents a 5 minute segment that has passed. The longest line stands for the 30 minute mark and the 2nd longest line stands for a 15 minute mark. For example, the time shown here is 1:50.

This time reading method was made possible as the Hour Hand is the disc that rotates.
