Karim Rashid Alessiwatches: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?

May 2, 2008

<The indomitable Karim Rashid — known for being a modern artist who puts his twist on practical household items — strikes again. Working with Italian company Alessi, Rashid has made an accessory that's bright, simple, and graphic — all the aesthetic properties I appreciate in my favorite websites and gadgets.

The Alessiwatch comes in black, green, light blue, brown, pink, violet, and red — and I'm already plotting out not which color to get, but which colors. Do these Alessiwatches do the same thing to you, or are you into a fancier or perhaps digital face?

I'm a total geek, but it's not really my taste. I love the bright colors though.

My boyfriend gave me this watch for Christmas 2 years ago. I have it in Pink and I wear it to work everyday. Even at my very conservative company, I get compliments on it all the time.

I think they're neither Totally geeky nor Geek chic. What's geeky in them? Have I become such a geek that I can't point out the geekyness in these? :(I love them... They look so cute.
