A very Smart Watch

One of my biggest complaints about all these smart watches everyone seems to be producing is that they are all ugly. CAPITAL U G L Y.  I would never wear any of them. Enter Box Clever and SPAN. SPAN is a proposal of what a smart watch should be. The watch is a quartz-driven timekeeping unit where the hour hand operates at the top half of the watch, while the minute hand ticks away on the lower. CLear across the center is a digital OLED screen that shares the most important updates, alerts and reminders. The OLED is designed to work in conjunction with your smartphone.

The watch eschews the necessity of a touchscreen for a textured bezel surrounding the watch face; the bezel can even allow you to answer phone calls. Each digital element is charged through a micro-USB port hidden in the back of the watch. Clever. The Span Watch is fucking slick. Simple. I might even trade in my Bell & Ross for this bad bitch.

Christian has been a cultural and style junkie since the age of 6; while most kids were swiping cookies, he was swiping his grandfathers' Patek Philippe. Raised to appreciate art, fashion,design and  literature (yeah, this one actually reads) by a single mother fondly called Jackie-O. Christian quickly went from childhood cultural capital thief to academia protégé. Referred to as the cat's meow by some, too clever by half by others, Christian eschewed the academic life and ran away to join the circus -the fashion circus. Several well-appointed positions later and a career on the rise would be most people's dream but it was time to say fuck off and start all over again.

This is Christian Dare Unedited.
