Watches created by Apple's new rockstar designer

The world fully expects to catch a glimpse of Apple's newest product next week, a smartwatch commonly called the iWatch.

Apple may just tease the new device and it won't be available for immediate sale. But as Apple continues exploring wearable tech, we now have a better idea how future gadget designs will be infl uenced.

Apple just hired Marc Newson, a design genius who has worked on everything from bathroom products, interiors and furniture. He once even designed a personal jet, the Kelvin40, commissioned by the Foundation Cartier in Paris in 2003.

That said, he also famously founded a watch company, Ikepod, credited for starting the 'big watch' men's fashion revolution, though he offi cially severed design ties with the company in 2012.
