It’s time to have a little fun with your casual-wear timepieces. These 2 picks go beyond the norm to incorporate splashes of eye-catching color in classic, versatile designs.

Color Wheel
The Mr. Jones Watches Ladies’ Cyclops isn’t for those counting every second. This casual, relaxed timepiece uses a moving circle to indicate the time, instead of the usual minute and hour hands. It may be less precise, but it features a striking design, combined with the piece’s use of brightly-hued discs to indicate the hours. The result is a modern, artistically-minded accessory with a versatile style that’s perfect for those days off of work; $177, MrJonesWatches.com.

 

Hue Shifter
This Ziiiro Celeste Watch features an innovative dial consisting of a pair of transparently colored discs. As the minutes and hours pass, the overlapping hues meld and separate to create an eye-catching spectrum of color. Telling the time is a matter of finding the position of the right shades, making this piece more artistic than functional. In an era where we’re all tied to time-telling cell phones, this is exactly what we needed in a watch; $193, Ziiiro.com.
