The Concept
A New Concept in the World of Wristwatches –
small Pieces of Art, Produced in Larger Series
What has long been established in art and handicrafts could soon be realized also in serial production, as a result of digitalization:
We have individualized, unique products. Such personalized items as fashion and accessories can be particularly interesting for you.
:: subwave a100 is taking on a pioneering role and started producing several dozen Unique colorful wristwatches by hand in 2016. The Swiss-made automatic and high-quality Tourbillons are now sold out. Eight years later, the first industrially produced series of 500 watches is being released.
The Brand
In 2012, the Zurich-based web agency subwave Internet, founded by Daniel Schulthess, developed the Random Art Generator—a software tool for creating algorithmic vector graphics. Initially used for website visuals, flyers, and artwork, the goal was to bring a personal and creative touch to mass-produced items, making them more engaging and unique. Concept page see here; Zufallsdesign(.com) From post stamps to fashion and Accessories.. to other products appearance – everything is possible! Only few attepmts so far to make such personalisation possible in this way – the only known example is from Absolut Vodka with 1 million different bottles.
As subwave Internet expanded into e-commerce—launching some of the first online watch shops in Europe—it was a natural evolution to apply this personalization concept to timepieces. This led to the creation of CONCENTRIC-WATCH, a microbrand focused on Swiss-made watches. Each piece was handcrafted in collaboration with a trusted watchmaker, combining precision craftsmanship with individually generated, one-of-a-kind designs.
Over a decade later, CONCENTRIC watches were officially launched in a limited series of 500 pieces, produced to the highest standards in a renowned Hong Kong watch factory—trusted by several Swiss-Made brands for their exceptional quality.
During this time, Daniel Schulthess also gained recognition in the art world under the name Daniel Wave, showcasing his vibrant, digitally-driven art concept in exhibitions in New York City and Las Vegas. His works have been acquired by international collectors and art buyers, further establishing his creative vision across both design and fine art.
Our Colorful Designer Wristwatches are partly made with the help of algorithms and AI. Every wristwatch dial was chosen among many and edited for use in a very special timepiece..

These unexpected combinations are a constant source of inspiration, allowing him to express ideas that wouldn’t be possible through traditional, analog methods. danielwave.art
