Designed for musicians, this analog metronome watch offers timekeeping and features essential functions for tempo verification and tone reference. It seamlessly harmonizes with extraordinary moments and the ambiance of a performance, allowing wearers to feel the music by adorning it. The metronome mode's hands move like a classic mechanical metronome, achieved through a module that controls their motion, faithfully reproducing the natural motion of a pendulum rod. The watch display is centered within the inner circle, with musical functions divided and marked at different heights by an outer edge plate. The hands' patented dual-purpose design facilitates time reading through a bulging shape at the base and performance indication via the tipped end. Efforts for convenience led to a compact, gender-neutral timepiece ideal for daily wear, appealing to a broad audience, including young students. This creation combines thoughtful design and innovative functionality, serving musicians in their artistic pursuits.
