There's no digital zoom for the all-analog Zoomin Watch
Not only does it have a kind of digital/analog display, but the Zoomin Watch — designed by Gennady Martynov and Emre Cetinkoprulu — also manages to be one of the easiest to read watches around, thanks to the inclusion of a pair of tiny magnifying glasses.
Each hand has a miniature loupe at its end, and as they make their slow journeys around the dial, they magnify the numbers beneath them. Not only that, but the hours run in a small central circle, with the minutes chasing around the rim of the face. This lets every minute, from 0-59, get its very own digit. Thus, you can see a digital style readout at a glance (2:50 in this case), or take a look at the position of the hands.
As is so often the case with amazing watch designs, this one is a concept. And as is so often the case with concepts, I would buy this one in a heartbeat.
