Upside Down Watch – Ludovic Ballouard's First Self-branded Watch

In the precious post, I have shared watches which are replica watches designed under weird philosophy like relativity watch which shows the complex theory and backwards watch which expresses the designer’s will to stop time and even let time go backward. They all are designed beyond our imaginations. After looking at those watches, you will appreciate designers’ brilliant ideas.

The same feeling may be evoked when you this incredible Upside Down watch comes from Ludovic Ballouard.Once you have a close look at this Upside Down watch, you will know why I say so. This watch has a special way to indicate time. If you are careful, you will find that on the dial, besides the current hour marker is shown in the correct way, other markers are all displayed in an upside down way. That is how this watch is named. However, it is not that hard to read the time for wearers.

And then some people may ask how I read current time on this watch. As a matter of fact, a small dot on hour marker indicates the current time. We have to say that this interesting watch is a good blend of traditional and eccentric concepts.   Apart from the upside down design, this watch looks really concise and neat as a whole. It perfectly states what the quote “Less is more” means. I really appreciated this design. What’s your feeling?   And this one is Ludovic Ballouard’s first self-branded timepiece. But this watch has fully showcased this designer’s brilliant talents. We are waiting for his future creations.
