Weird Watch Concepts: Caterpillar, Brembo and SRAM Watch Concepts

Nicolas Lehotzky came up with a series of three concepts which includes the Caterpillar, Brembo and SRAM watches.

Lehotzky's Caterpillar watch was inspired by the bulldozer track and extends this principle into a dial-free watch in which a fabric belt with the hour numbers on it is slowly rotated around the entire wrist, with the current hour presented on a raised platform.



The SRAM watch is built from components that mimic bicycle parts. A fixed block reminiscent of a derailleur drives a chain that slowly turns a chain ring inside a fixed ring. The time is indicated by numbering on the chain ring.


The Brembo watch band is made of molded rubber in the shape of a performance car tire, and the time is indicated through numbers on an aluminum ventilated brake disc that's driven from within a unit shaped to represent a Brembo brake caliper.
