There is so little going on with the Minimo Watch's face that you might actually be deceived into thinking that there is not much to this timepiece. That's where you would be wrong, as this concept watch from American designer Kambiz is truly more than meets the eye.
For starters, the Minimo Watch is made from an aluminum body and has a magnetic clasp meaning that you'll never have to worry about resizing. The watch has a minimalist face that uses dashes instead of numbers to tell time. The inner set of dashes tell the hour while the outer set of dashes tell the minutes. The light used to illuminate the hours and minutes of the Minimo watch can be changed by pressing a small button on the band. The Minimo Watch was submitted to the Tokyoflash Design Blog, a blog that takes the best and brightest watch designs from around the world and turns them into actual watches. You can check out the Minimo Watch here and decide for yourself whether it should go from concept to reality.
