From en.wikipedia.org:
SLOW WATCH is a line of 24-hour analog dial watches made by _Slow
watches_.[1][2]
** Watches
The watches made by _Slow watches_ have a minimalist design, with only one
hand. The watch faces mark out 24 hours rather than the traditional 12 hours,
with 12 noon located at the top of the face. They are available in over 15
different styles, with both octagonal and round cases.<ref name=ny>[url=

] Dashes on the clock face are quarters of an hour as opposed to the usual
markings per minute.[3]
** History
The _Slow watches_ company was created by Corvin Lask and Christopher
Noerskau, with Swiss watch designers Gabriele Guidi and May Margot as
partners.[4][5] They began development of the company in 2011 and opened for
business in 2013.<ref name=ny/> Lask and Noerskau wanted to create a watch
that would remind people to appreciate their available time.[6]
** Reception
In 2015 GQ named _Slow watches_ one of the '100 Best things in the world right
now', describing them as "beautifully rugged" and "fantastic quality".[7]
_Slow watches_ were included in the 2015 Oscars' goodie bags, provided to
attendees of the ceremony.[8]
