Watchismo has just added three of the coolest independent watch brands to 'The VAULT', a curated collection of extraordinary time machines.

Devon Watches' Tread 1 exposes a mesmerizing, interwoven system of patented conveyor belts, which include critical elements to allow the optical recognition system to know every belt position at all times.

Azimuth Watches echo a mathematical term used by astrologers, navigators and military men to survey their bearings. The measurement now represents cerebral pursuits: a reflection of time and space drawn from the word's Arabic origins, where it evokes the route taken by a traveler.

RSW Watches' neo-brutalist design pays homage to futurism, oblique architecture and the earliest electronic musical instruments. Check out 'Outland', a contemporary masculine wristwatch modeled on the compass.
