From bold digi-analog to sharp LEDs

Diesel have been consistently putting out some high design timepieces that range from leather-strapped, postmodern collisions of metal to playful, boldly-colored rubber-ensconced wristwatches.

Aeronautical engineering for your wrist

It shouldn’t really surprise that Scott Devon is the man behind the hyper-engineered and aesthetically warp speed Devon Tread 1 Watch, as he’s also the man behind the crazed American supercar the Devon GTX. The man obviously has a fetish for the ultra-engineered. So it makes sense that his Tread 1 watch is more California […]
