100 Best Minimalist Watches

1. Daniel Wellington Minimalist Unisex Watch (Affordable)

 This first watch on our look at the 100 best minimalist watches available is this neat unisex edition from Daniel Wellington. As you’d expect from a Unisex watch, this model has a smaller 36mm casing diameter. The Classic Black Sheffield has this great blend of black and PVD rose gold plating that gives it that smart finish. It’s powered by a Japanese quartz movement and has a genuine leather strap.

2. Skagen Men’s Hagen Minimal Watch (Affordable)

This handsome gents timepiece has an ion-plated stainless steel casing and is fitted with a quartz movement. The large white dial combined with the slim hands and hour markers give the watch this great simple minimal style.

3. Mondaine Men’s Quartz Swiss Minimalist Watch (Mid range)

Mondaine are a popular affordable Swiss watch brand that are known for the elegant dial design that represents the Swiss railway station clock on your wrist. It features this instantly recognisable design with a hint of colour on the seconds hand. As you’d expect, this model runs on a Swiss quartz movement and has a domed mineral crystal glass.

4. SekfordType 1A PVD Gold Plated Stainless Steel And Leather Watch (Mid Range – High end)

The next men’s minimalist watch we’re featuring is this beautiful timepiece from Sekford. The Sekford Type 1A is designed with this clever domed mineral crystal lens that makes the dial appear brighter and open, a look inspired by vintage pocket watches. It’s a pricey Swiss made minimal men’s watch that I would definitely be considering.

 5. Braun Men’s Quartz Fashional Minimalist Watch (Affordable)

Next up we have a Braun simplistic watch with a dash of colour in the form of a thing yellow seconds hand. It’s a fashionable timepiece with a bare bones finish to the dial. Braun are a well-recognised brand for their love of design.

6. Movado Museum Men’s Leather Strap Watch (Mid-range)

Movado are an iconic brand known for their love of Bauhaus design, drawing on the ethos of simplicity and function. The Movado Museum features the signature dot and hands on the dial. It’s powered by a Swiss quartz movement and has a sapphire crystal glass for excellent scratch resistance. A truly beautiful Swiss made minimalist watch.

7. Larsson & Jennings Lugano 40mm in Black (Mid range)

The Lugano 40mm redefines minimal luxury with a black on black design and a black Italian calf leather strap. This minimalist watch drops the seconds hand and runs on a Swiss quartz Ronda movement.

8. Bering Men’s Classic Chronograph Watch (Affordable – mid range)

Here we have a minimalistic chronograph watch from Bering, another brand that are likely to make a few appearances on today’s list of the best 100 minimalist watches. This classic timepiece features a beautiful yet simple chronograph display, removing the outlines and avoiding the use of numerals on the outer dial. Like many other minimal watches, they’ve opted for a tiny splash of colour with the seconds hand.

9. Raymond Weil Freelancer Automatic Watch (Luxury minimalist watch)

This is the first luxury automatic minimalistic watch that we’re featuring. I’d say it more hints on minimal design than staying completely true to it. The semi-exposed dial is a beautiful edition though, showcasing the automatic movement at work. This watch features an exhibition caseback too, one of my favourite features on an automatic watch.

10. Swatch Unisex White Rebel Watch (Affordable)

Next up we have a plain watch from Swatch with an all white minimal design. This unisex Swatch timepiece has a 40mm casing diameter with a slim 11mm thickness. It actually runs on a Swiss quartz movement which isn’t something you often find in this price range.
