Over the years, the watch has evolved from a practical essential to an accessory that adds a splash of personality to any outfit. And if you think you have to compromise on design for functionality when it comes to your timepiece? Think again. We’ve selected three distinct pieces that’ll be sure to leave an indelible impression.

The design of Denis Guidone’s Crossover watch for Projects Watches is simple yet still takes you by surprise. Inspired by the Pick-Up Sticks game, the Milan-based designer created a unisex accessory that comes with three tapered hands in contrasting hues for easy reading. Available in brass, steel, black and grey from Dezeen Watchstore.

The Akteo watches by Jean-Christophe Mareschal were inspired by the designer’s passion for poetry; his wild imagination as well as his attention to detail is evident in every line of the designs. Made in France, the watches are created from materials such as stainless steel, titanium and mineral glass. We particularly love the artistic Paint model. Available at Homeless.

More delicate and feminine is the Midi Dial Mint and Rose Gold from Olivia Burton. The vintage-inspired watch comes with a rose gold face and soft leather strap – easy to match with any causal look. Available from DEMK.
