I’m digging these super simple watches from Uniform Wares.
“Uniform Wares products have an intentionally paired down form that is characterized by distinct colour; this helps define their purpose, how they are used, what for and by whom,” says company co-founder and designer, Patrick Bek.
I would argue that some of the tick marks could be removed (really only needing marks at 3, 6, 9, and 12 o’clock), but that would take away from the British wall clock influence.

Australian designer Ben McCarthy has designed a watch where the hours are marked by creases in its pressed-steel face.

Look, ma — no hands: The figure closest to the central gear reflects the present time.

Timepiece Design Concept of the Day: “Progress Bar Clock” by mintpass.
A “timing belt” hooked up to a drive shaft (which, in turn, is connected to a motor) moves a strip of blue film across the screen in a precise fashion. Along the way, “schedule tags” trigger alarms reminding the user of daily tasks.

Wall Clock of the Day: “QLOCKTWO” by Biegert & Funk.
Happen to have €1099.99 lying around? Then tell your dumb old hand-based wall clock to suck it and pick up the German-engineered QLOCKTWO. LED back-lighting and a slick, verbal, multi-colored faceplate make this device less of timepiece and more of a bold statement. (Namely: I’m far too rich to bother with reading hands like a commoner.)
Don’t happen to have €1099.99 lying around? Pick up the QLOCKTWO-simulating iPhone/iPod Touch app instead, then feel miserable about the fact that you’re not the kind of guy/gal who happens to have €1099.99 lying around.
