What do you do after you’ve designed such iconic products as the Nike Fuelband and the Xbox 360? If you’re ASTRO Studios, you start making stunning watches. The MINUS-8 Layer is professional and modern in appearance and is available in four different colorways—Black-Silver, Black-Red, Black-Gold, and Gray. The case is made with stacked PVD-coated stainless steel discs that have been layered to create cascading depth in the face. Designed out on the West Coast—MINUS-8 gets its name from the GMT-8 time zone—the Layer watch boasts a clean display with three-hand timing and a simple date window. Complete with a sapphire crystal face, an NFC-enabled proprietary silicon band, and a Japanese automatic movement, the Layer watch from MINUS-8 is a raw, crafted machine that blends design and technology to fit your lifestyle.
