I'm sure some of you at certain moments in your life gets pressured or anxious as you see a watch or a clock. Some may feel that time seems to move too fast if they're chasing a deadline and while others feel it seems to move really slow when they're anticipating an occasion or event that they just can't wait to happen. Designer Jose Hurtado have designed a watch that won't tell the time unless you really want it to.
He calls this the Hide. A really clever name for a really clever watch. It actually looks like a unique looking bracelet when it's not telling the time and the watch-hands are at rest.
To look at the time, you just simply push the middle bar up and the three hands of time automatically open up like a switch blade and reveal the exact time to you. Then you just push the hands back to its resting state to hide the time again. The concept of being able to hold the hands of the clock is really cool. Although I don't think that this watch is for everyone, some might get more anxious and paranoid if they won't be able to see the exact time at a moment especially if they're going after a deadline. But if you just want to forget the time and just relax, then this is the watch for you.
