German designer Matthias Zschaler has made a concept watch that takes its geometry from an isometric drawing of a cube.
Called Cube, the watch would have a digital display and come in a range of colours.
Here’s some more from the designer:
CUBE – digital wrist watch concept
CUBE is a simple and stylish digital watch that because of its layout looks like the isometric illustration of a cube.
It uses an under screen technology to display the time.

Cube Clock by Boym Parnters for Kikkerland, year 2006. http://www.kikkerland.com/prod/CL14R.html
It pops up straight on Google.
Designers should do a little research before rushing their ideas out.
Your example doesn't qualify as nulling Zaschlers wristwatch.
Yes it uses a 'trompe l'oeil' escheresque typology, but the scale, technology & design are completely different.
As Paul mentions this design pushes the typology to a new level and is evolutive, therefore qualifying its reason to exist.
Where can we find this watch?
errr by the looks of it, there is only one and it's made out of cardboard
LOL Chuck best comment yet.
This is a joke, right?! I've just come up with a concept for a shrinking magic helicopter… well I've drawn it with felt tips in my "ideas journal" anyway.
Hey cbm, your wall clock would look excellent strapped to a wrist! Are you serious? Sometimes it takes a little twist on an existing design to take it to the next level, don't you think? A great example: a chair.
That looks awesome! I want!
i'm with robert, nothing else is needed to be said.
Can I buy this watch? In pink….Yes Pink…
for saying this is on dezeen, that is the worst model of a product, ive ever seen! the tip-ex writing really sets it off!
so macho.
looks like it was colored in with pink highlighter. neat.
