Getting bored with the traditional watch ? Perhaps “Superior”, ultramodern minimalist watch can brighten your day. Superior watch is a conceptual custom made watch to fit its owner arm.

De Garilhe decided to put a lock and a key to specialize and symbolize the fact that you keep your informations secret with it. It’s an ironic detail. He always like the fact to melt high consumers products with luxury. And this concept goes directly in this direction.There are 4 different versions:
- White gold and LV logos with digital clock, yellow diamond on white gold key.
- White gold,ostrich leather, yellow gold chain and key, blue saphir diamond.
- White gold satin polished finition, white gold chain and key, pink saphir diamond.
- White gold, black alligator leather, black PVD treatment on white gold (chemical pulverize on it), mechanical clock that you can arm behind the USBijou, and a green saphir diamond.
All USbijoux have 40Gb memories.
