Barrel/ cushion shaped watches seem to be a design trend these years
« on: September 30, 2015, 11:08:34 AM »
I know barrel/ cushion shaped watches are mostly retro design inspired, mostly found in seventies, when the time I was born.
With the following borrowed pictures, it seem that barrel/ cushion shaped watches is quite a design trend these years.

What do you think? And how do you like them?

SIHH 2015 – Clé de Cartier




Tag Heuer Formula 1 2014


TAG Heuer Formula 1 Calibre 16 Chronograph (2014)


Hamilton Pan Europ 2014


Omega Speedmaster Mark 2 (2014)


Vulcain Nautical Seventies (2013)


And some older product...

Seiko 6309


Seiko Bell-Matic


Heuer Carrera 110.573B

I like the Seiko 6309. Nice turtle.

I prefer pillow or slightly more squarish cushion shaped case.
