Is this the Ultimate in Minimalist Watches?

Ultimate Minimalist Watch Pin Dial

We have featured a fair few watches on TFTS since its conception and, of those, many have been fairly minimalist affairs – but none have got even close to this degree of minimalism. However, if you’re looking for a wrist watch that will keep you forever abreast of the exact time, this id probably not the watch for you.

Featuring nothing more than a pin type indicator, this watch takes minimalism to the absolute extremes so you can forget any features such as a stop watch, a date display or even any sign of a number on its face. You have a single pin type indicator – and that’s very much that.

Personally, though we like it, it’s really no where near in the same class as the previously featured and quite awe inspiring OVO Wrist Watch – but then we suspect that nothing ever will be. Period.

Where can I buy this watch?
Black face…no hands…just a silver dot the revolves around simple round hour markers?

Hi Don,

I did think I’d posted the link but now realize I obviously have not. I’ll backtrack through my notes and try to find it for you.

That is a great looking watch. I love the minimalism. The simple yet elegant brushed bezel with the simple black face. I would say it is a toss up between this one and the OVO.

Ah, if only my life were so carefree that I could make do with this watch.
