Exciting simplicity is a challenge

 


We can probably agree that creating a timeless yet exciting design is a very difficult task. This may even be more true for a time only watch, where all the attraction comes from subtle and refined aspects instead of bold and catchy elements.







For me the Hentschel H1 and H2 watches are a good example how attention to detail in every aspect creates a whole that is bigger than the sum of it's parts. Since we talk design, I opted for black and white shots only.








The harmonious relation between diameter and height...








... the lugs appearing to be a natural extension of the case...














A domed dial, protected by a domed crystal, between them a very thin rehaut...









... and of course those hands that remind me of blades of grass...










Since great design is inspired by the laws of nature, I thought I'd put the three Hentschel watches to the test and let them blend with natural habitats. I hope you enjoy the pictures!






























With a last shot I'll come to an end. Have a great weekend everyone!





Cheers 
Henrik
