These days, the image of a wristwatch has taken many forms and notions; wherein some are futuristic and others are flashy. None that attempt to keep the basic function of the watch intact. Designer Sabastian Krabbe, who is utterly touched by the natural and cultural treasures of the Alps, has designed a minimalistic watch that is a just combination of earthy as well as urban. The watch’s dial is composed of stainless steel and is polygonal-shaped to remind of a naturally grown crystal. Its stainless steel face is etched with marks that signify twelve, three, six and nine.

The most attractive feature of the watch is its wristband, which is composed of a type of rusty wood which is mainly found in alpine regions of Central Europe. The watch parts like the adjustment/wind up wheel, its pin and the joint to the hands are deliberately visible, to underline the honest and original look of the wristwatch.
