    Looking for ideas for a minimalist watch

    As per the title

    I like good design. Minimalist. Like this for example: radio hyper chrome ultra light

    A Week On The Wrist: The Rado HyperChrome Ultra Lighthttps://www.hodinkee.com/articles/rado-hyperchrome-ultra-light-week-on-the-wrist

    Any other good ideas? Thanks.

    I did look at that CW as I own a few already. Problem with all the suggestions so far is nice watches but all a bit samey.

    This is exactly the kind of watch I hate and should never be made. Ever. :)

    Have to agree the Nomos is a classic, but the Junghans Max Bill fits that criteria too.

    Nomos if you're on a budget. If you're not, A. Lange & Sohne Saxonia Thin - https://www.alange-soehne.com/en/tim.../#saxonia-thin

    This is exquisite;


    Or a little plainer if you like;

    I've got to agree with the comments below that you must have a research of Nomos if you're looking for a minimalist watch.

    They've nailed the Bauhaus style excellently.

    The Orion would be the one to look at;



    Or if you want something more high-end take a look at the Lambda;

    I was thinking the same - it's currently my minimalistest watch.

    Another possibility is the CW C9 Jumping Hour.

    I was intending to put up a pic of each but Tapatalk says no at the moment.

    Ah there we are.

    It's probably worth mentioning that, just as with any other style, minimalism can be poorly-done. And as flattering as Hodinkee's photography tends to be, the Rado just isn't a particularly good design example:

    Have to agree RE the Rado. I brought one and returned it straight away, loved the photos and look but it was horrible on the wrist, comes with a cheap strap and is very expensive.

    Nomos are really nailing it right now I would probably look there.

    I think the white gold, blue dial version (tiefblau) is utterly stunning; but £15k.. :(
