Philippe Starck For Fossil – True Design Innovation

Fossil likes to keep their watch collections exciting and is constantly reinventing their designs to keep up with style and cultural trends. The brand is so popular because the watches are very fashion forward; capturing key trends such as the layered look or the ceramic strap look for example but remain true to the unique raw Fossil style and quality.

To really inject a style shake up, Fossil have also teamed up with iconic designer Philippe Starck who has created a superb range of watches for the brand, all of which are great examples of dynamic innovation and have a minimal and futuristic aesthetic.

Philippe Starck is quite the legendary designer and his work ranges from laying out restaurants and hotels to designing chairs and toothbrushes. The designer looks at everyday objects and likes to play around with funky designs and turn them into a work of art. His recent collaboration with Fossil has led to a collection of sleek watches that have a typical Starck architectural influence.

The Philippe Starck watch collection comprises of a range of digital and analogue watches for Fossil and experiments with a minimal and elegant look with a hint of futuristic styling. The new and exclusive Philippe Starck O Ring Digi watch is a new addition and has a sleek stainless steel bracelet strap with the focal point being an LCD dial – the central section of the dial is open to create ring effect. The exclusive Palidrome PH6000 is incredibly streamlined and minimal with a white leather strap and a white Starck dial with barely any detailing. This is definitely a striking watch and a conversation piece! The new unisex Glitz Digi is a beautiful watch with a white rubber strap and a diamante embellished case to add some glitz and glamour. The dial has a multi module digital display. This watch is also available in black.

The Philippe Starck watches are a great addition to the collection and definitely add something completely unique; Fossil likes to use the influence of architecture within their designs and Starck was the perfect designer choice as his work typically turns everyday objects into statements. His fascination with architecture has been a strong influence in the design of the Fossil watches as each and every one is sleek and streamlined and experiments with colours to add definition. His minimal yet effective watch designs are incredibly striking and are of course timelessly stylish as they are unique to Starck’s inspiration.
