This is an odd duck. A company called Morpheus Watches has just released the Culinary watch, a $400 quartz piece with 41.5mm case and design cues that come from high-end cookwear.
. The Culinary features a concentric circle texture on the dial, calling out the same relief found in fine cookware. The shape of the case itself resembles a skillet, and the crown and pushers are formed in the style of high end oven or cook top knobs.
Fair enough. It uses a Swiss ISA movement and has an alarm for timing dishes, reserve de marche battery meter, and luminous hands. It comes on leather or steel and has a sapphire crystal.
I’ve always said that watchmakers need to target famous chefs. After all, when they’re on TV their wrists are always showing. A lost Rolex in the pudding might even make for a great gift for a lucky diner.
Hello,
I work for a media marketing company in NYC and right now we are working with Swatch. I have some great new pics and watch designs for your site!!! If you could hit me back as soon as possible with your direct contact information that would be great. I really think the information I have will suit your site well 🙂
Thanks! I can be reached at naya@icedmedia.com or the other email I provided!
Look forward to hearing from you soon!!
Feel free to delete that post as soon as you receive it, just wanted to find a way to reach you.
That is a pretty cool looking watch. What will the Swiss think of next? Has anyone had any experience with some of the British watches like Graham watches?
I received this watch for my birthday, and as it is a beautiful piece, it does not have any thing in particular useful in the kitchen. The timer is not audible in a busy kitchen, the face is too busy, the numbers on the face are too small I would prefer a regular minute hand, and it would really help if it had a bezel ring to mark time. I will be returning mine for a refund and probably purchasing a Seiko or some other brand.
