Watches are meant to be looked at. I know that seems painfully obvious, as their functionality requires you to gaze upon them. However, with many timepieces, there’s a bit more to it, culturally speaking.
While they are tools, first and foremost, they’re also fashion accessories and, in some cases, pieces of wearable art. If you’re going to wear one, it should be one you like to look at and, perhaps, show off.
To prove that, look no further than the Watch Ho & Co. x Selten Jui, a highly minimalist dress watch with an especially eye-catching dial.
Mother, may I?
The Jui is almost entirely devoid of dial markings, beyond some simple dot indices around the edge — large ones to indicate hours and smaller ones for minutes.
There’s also a subtle Chinese numeral at the 2 o’clock position, marking Watch Ho & Co.’s second anniversary (the occasion for which this timepiece was designed). Furthermore, the watch’s sword-like hands are highly minimalist and skeletonized.
