This Radical Watch Design Turns The Body Into A Clasp - Yanko Design
Briefly

The 'Watch Concept' by Johan Link introduces a revolutionary design in timepieces with its unique clasp mechanism integrated into the watch body itself. This minimalistic watch features a two-piece outer metal shell, which opens to reveal a detailed acrylic core housing the actual watch. The aesthetic focuses on metallic elements, allowing only the hands to be visible through a cutout. The transparent acrylic offers an intriguing view of the mechanical movement inside, complemented by thoughtful design details such as numerals printed on the glass and an accessible crown, although it tends to hide when the case is closed.
Link’s aesthetic is fairly metal-leaning, with a watch case that obscures most of the watch inside, revealing just the hands through a donut-shaped cutout.
This means the case splits into two, with the watch underneath. When shut, you've got a watch that's somewhat 'trapped' inside its metal shell.
