Tag Heuer Dashboard Timer

Reading time: less than a minute.

Modern design trends tend towards the digitisation of formerly mechanical objects, often into an onscreen display. Whilst I understand the importance of progress I can’t help but feel a little nostalgic for a time before Turing’s idea really took off and the mechanical device was still king.

This Tag Heuer dashboard timer is more beautiful to me than any app I’ve yet seen on my iPhone and I can’t see that changing anytime soon.
