Hungarian product designer Gábor Balogh recently published Smartwatch Concept on Behance, where it has quickly become one of the most popular projects on the site.

In his brief project description, Balogh states:

“Smartwatches do not have to be all the same. Here is my concept proving that tradition and technology can live together.”

 

The analogue watch used in the concept designs below is the Havana timepiece by Triwa (used with permission). In an interview with The Verge, Balogh explains that he’s a designer not an engineer and understands there would be technological issues that would have to be resolved to bring such a design to life, such as a circular screen and elegantly fitting a battery and the necessary circuitry.
