No Hour Hand, No Minute Hand: The $299 Triarch Watch Tells Time With Magnets - Yanko Design
"Time is usually measured in straight lines and sweeping hands, but Triarch bends that rule into a triangle. Instead of conventional hands, its custom movement drives a rotating minute dial while a tiny ball traces a precise triangular path. Every glance becomes a small discovery, as the orbiting ball and shifting dial transform timekeeping into a kinetic sculpture on the wrist."
"Hours are tracked on a rotating outer dial marked from 1 to 12, spinning continuously beneath a fixed reference point. Meanwhile, the minutes are indicated by a small ball that travels along a triangular track, moving in sync with the passage of time. At the center sits an exposed golden gear, visible through a triangular window, acting as the mechanical heart that drives the entire system."
Triarch replaces conventional hands with a custom movement that rotates an outer hour dial beneath a fixed reference while a small ball traces minutes along a triangular track. A central exposed golden gear is visible through a triangular window and functions as the mechanical heart that animates the system. The design emphasizes triangle symbolism tied to stability, harmony, and eternity, framing time as a geometric icon that feels timeless and futuristic. Two variants reinterpret the concept; Triarch I is dress-oriented with classical guilloché-style dials and color options including teal, grey-black, and blue. Designer: Ken. Price: $299 with limited units available.
