As a designer, I hate to admit that I do not recognize which product is the original and which is the knock-off.
Help me out.
Looking at the wristwatch in the Plagarious Awards, I wouldn’t buy either one. Here (in my humble opinion) is a truely elegant watch: The XEMEX Piccadilly #8700.73
XEMEX #8700.73
Wally, the #8700 is a truly elegant watch. I fancy Marc Newson’s latest:
Ikepod’s Hemipode DT.
Sorry, no photo on the world wide web yet.
