A useless watch that’s so useless it’s not even a watch

A useless watch that’s so useless it’s not even a watch

I’ve been at pains to make clear that my interest in useless watches is not a de facto interest in bracelets. A useless watch and a bracelet are not the same thing.

That said, this item blurs the line. I’d say it’s a bracelet that comments on useless watches. And since it’s sold at the MoMa store, it must be, if not “art,” then “Good Design.” Via Better Living Through Design.

Earlier notes on low-utility watches here, here, here, and here.

Further diversion may be found at MKTG Tumblr, and the Consumed Facebook page.
