Matrix M6001 Series Neo Retro LCD Wrist Watch Offers Classic Abstraction

If you’re looking for a highly distinctive wrist watch that offers unashamedly retro styling fused with classic design elements set off beautifully with a far from traditional method of time telling this stylish Matrix M6001 Series wrist watch has all bases well and truly covered.

If you were to hand us a design brief detailing all the design elements the Matrix M6001 Series wrist watch appears to have been inspired by we don’t doubt that we would have scratched our heads prior to laughing you out of the room – and yet, this supremely distinctive watch somehow manages not only to pull everything together to such great effect, but it does so in such a gloriously pompous fashion.

Whether the Matrix M6001 appeals to your particular design sensibilities or not, few would argue that this is a watch that’s positively guaranteed to coax more than its fair share of double takes. In fact, given a week of wearing this it wouldn’t surprise us if you became a little fed up as the umpteenth stranger asks how you availed yourself of one (I must like this watch as its conjuring words in my mind I haven’t used for some considerable time).

Will the Matrix M6001 suit everyone? No, absolutely not. But for those looking to pull off what we can best describe as a neo retro look (and a great look it is, too, when successfully achieved) this is one watch that will doubtless serve as the jewel in the crown as far as finishing touches are concerned.

Featuring a black LCD display that conveys the time via a series of columns and available with a suitably pastel range of coloured leather straps (white included) this Matrix M6001 Series wrist watch is, in our humble opinion at least, a masterstroke of design and, at a mere 69000 Korean Won (which, at the time of writing, equates to around $73 / £37 / €50 excluding shipping) it’s a steal.

You’ll now excuse me whilst I do some breathing exercises and submit to a cold shower.
