Font-Inspired Minimalist Watches

These Watches by Mondaine are Bringing Back Timeless Simplicity

Timepieces see changes often as culture sees changes and the bulky, overdone watches of the past decade are phasing out for a sophisticated design much like these font-inspired minimalist watches.

The 'Mondaine Helvetica No1 light' is a watch created for designers. With its fine detailing, it is an eye-catching arrangement without inefficient design features. Using the 'Helvetica' font as inspiration, the watch uses a signature asymmetrical placement to distinguish its branding.

This font-inspired minimalist watch is both waterproof and durable, but that isn't the only reason why it is fit for any occasion. Being able to blend in with an outfit for "casual Friday" or a banquet event, the versatility of such a watch can only be matched with its modernist sensibilities.
