I won't try to explain how Otium watches tell time. Instead, visit their website and/or read the brand information at WatchBuys by clicking here. The only thing that I can tell you about Otium is that their watches are highly original and the time-telling concept is taken directly from some industrial engineering timekeeping concepts. Is anyone besides me starting to think that the German watch firms are alive with new ideas while the Swiss are settling back a bit and relying on their history and reputation?
