Issey Miyake OVO Designer Minimalist Wrist Watch



Issey Miyake Minimalist OVO Wrist Watch

 

Ever so often we come across a gadget that sets our pulses racing and this is one of those occasions. And, when something looks this beautiful, who can blame us for sitting back and letting the imagery do most of the talking?

If you’re in the market for a new wrist watch that is distinctive enough to turn heads without being overstated and is modern without being decidedly brash, then the gorgeous Issey Miyake OVO watch, designed by Shunji Yamanaka, should fit the bill rather nicely.

The battery operated Issey Miyake OVO (which apparently translates as ‘egg’ in Portuguese) offers 100 meter waterproofing, comes in either highly polished stainless steel with green face or in rather sinister black with black face and retails from this Japanese online store for ¥37800 – approximately £156 / $310 excluding shipping.

We’re in love.

    Wonderful watch, I’d love one. Shame, as one other reader said, you need to speak Japanese to buy it.

    Looking forward to seeing it available elsewhere soon.
