Do you HAVE to have a watch? No, but you don’t have to have a phone that can play Scrabble, a backpack capable of carrying a case of beer or a TV as big as a movie theater either, do you? By that logic, owning a watch isn’t a good idea, it’s a great one. The Nava Tempo Libero is the watch you want to strap on your wrist if you want to be a little unconventional and color outside the lines a bit. The minute hand is decentralized, so it rotates out of position with the hour hand. The all black PVD 316L stainless case is standard (and gorgeous) enough that you won’t even notice the witchcraft of the hand rotation at first, which just makes it all the better later.
