Wearing a traditional watch has become less common as people swap them out for fitness bands and digital smart watches. But the watch brand Xeric wants to bring the classic accessory back with their Halograph Automatic Watch, which combines the aesthetics of the past with the functionality of the future. The water-resistant Halograph Automatic Watch is powered by the kinetic energy you generate as you walk around, and you can even see the mechanical rotor that propels it through the crystal porthole on the back of the casing. Because it's so powerful, you'll never have to replace the battery (which is more than you can probably say for that digital watch charging for hours on your nightstand). And they’re all unique — each limited-edition Halograph watch is engraved with a number between 001 and 999. The Xeric Halograph Automatic Watch usually sells for $595, but you can get one on sale today for $349.99 — that’s a 41% discount.
