All eyes may be on smartwatches right now, but there's still a lot to love when it comes to traditional wristwatches too. Over at Wrist, designer and developer Matt Johnston has been recreating some of his favorite watches in illustrations for the web.

Johnston’s illustrations are stylish (and stylized) interpretations that make these watches all look incredible.

Other illustrations have come from contributors, bringing the site up to a total of seven entries at the moment.
