  • Our take on the A perfectly useless afternoon

    A wristwatch designed by illustrator Kristof Devos, built around a single joke: a figure lounging in a pool reads the time. The stretched leg points to the hour and a tiny plastic duck floating around the dial marks the minutes. It is a novelty piece, not a precision instrument, and it suits people who want a conversation starter or a gift for someone who needs to slow down. Against ordinary minimalist watches it trades legibility and conventional styling for charm and a clear message.

    About the A perfectly useless afternoon

    A perfectly useless afternoon is a watch designed by Kristof Devos as a gentle reminder to take a break and enjoy the moment. A character lounging in a pool is meant to inspire rest.

    The round case of the watch forms the pool. Its sides are the tiles, and they mark the hours.
