If ever there was a statement-piece to adorn your wrist then this is surely one of them… CLOT and JAM HOME MADE have redesigned the diving watch by taking away its most functional elements – the numbers, the hands and the calendar – all in reaction to modern day living where many work long hard hours for their achievements meaning that the concept of time is now almost irrelevent since few work nine-to-five, and therefore clock-watching is becoming extinct.
