Nothing wrist (1) wristwatch with transparent edges that reveal its inside, designed by an artist, appears ‘nothing short of beautiful.’
Carl Pei, co-founder of OnePlus, founded Nothing after leaving the business last year. The firm just launched their ear (1) wireless earbuds, which not only provide better value for money than expected, but also have a beautiful design that no other company has yet attempted.
Design:
It looks like the earphones’ translucent casing and transparent buds are all about transparency. In a world of fierce competition, a new company must provide something distinctive to stand out, and Carl Pei did exactly that with the Nothing ear (1).
Of course, a brand must aim for uniformity throughout its product range in order to be readily recognised. Given that Nothing’s future product, whatever it may be, would likely follow a design language similar to its earphones, designer Gian Luigi Singh based his renderings on this (via: Yanko Design).
A smartwatch with crystal transparent sides that show off the exact engineering that makes a wearable tick. Like some of the high-end analogue timepieces with translucent underbelly that show the fascinating, precise but complicated clockwork required to tell the time.
To compete, the Nothing wrist (1) wristwatch will include a heart rate monitor and step counter, among other health and fitness features.
The Nothing smartwatch will also be water-resistant, like any other luxury wearable gadget. So, Gian has placed an IPx4 label on the watch’s bottom.
The watch will run on Google’s Wear OS, which should allow its user to control it. Also link it to their smartphone. Concerning connectivity, the wrist (1) will be fully compatible with Nothing’s current portfolio, which only comprises the Nothing ear (1). So the watch can easily connect with the headphones and monitor their battery life as well as change their volume.
As a result, we are not shocked if Carl Pei stumbles across it and decides to start something similar. If it occurs, the renderings will be to Carl Pei what an apple was to Isaac Newton.
