Philippe Starck continues to innovate for his collaboration with Fossil by creating watches that tell time in unexpected ways. In a similar illusion-like way of telling time to the Veiled watch, the Palindrome uses a 'floating' hour to move around the dial with a simple rectangular stick that has the impression of sitting atop the face rather than integrated into it. The minute hand is denoted with the S+arck moniker, a subtle way of advertising the watch brand.

Totally a ripoff of the design of the Issey Miyake watch.... http://www.productwiki.com/issey-miyake-to-watch/

Ha, good call meNNis, I knew it looked familiar but couldn't place it.

...for 1/4 the price. That's the sort of ripoff I like.

Yes, that is typical Fossil. Take someone else's design, make a watch that looks just like it, but with cheaper componants and no warrenty (unless you pay for one seperately.) Sweet.

I bought this watch and cannot figure out how to start it! Does anyone have a suggestion? The instruction manual that came with it features all the Fossil watches except this one. I even called their customer service and they said they could not even locate instructions or an owners manual on the watch. They were supposed to call me back and never did. Go figure.

Anyway, if anyone knows how to start this watch, hit me back with the info.
