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.

Hi Gianpo,

We’ve on the lookout for the moment it becomes available outside of Japan – and we’re hoping it does. The moment we find something we’ll update this post with the relevant into for you (and a link).

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.

Hi Peter – yes, so are we. Needles to say, if we find it being made available elsewhere we’ll post an update asap.
