STELLAR watch by Raw Color and The Trio of Time turns dial into kinetic color composition

architecture-design · 2026-06-30

STELLAR, a timepiece crafted by Eindhoven's Raw Color in partnership with The Trio of Time and produced by Anicorn Watches, offers a fresh perspective on timekeeping through its layered, colorful hands that form a dynamic star-like pattern on the dial. The watch features three rotating layers, each equipped with six hands, creating ever-changing geometric designs as they operate independently. A small dot within the layered graphics serves as the time indicator, replacing conventional numerals. This project showcases Raw Color's graphic approach applied to a wearable design, transforming the dial into a kinetic canvas where color, overlap, and geometry shift throughout the day. The Trio of Time continues to explore innovative interpretations of watches as design objects. STELLAR harmonizes functionality with aesthetics, movement with design, and time with color.
