Minimalist Church-Inspired Watches

The 'Light' Watch Concept by Daniel Wu is Demure

The 'Light' watch concept has been designed by Daniel Wu as an accessory inspired by the Church of Light in Japan to provide wearers with a decidedly minimalist take on conventional timepieces.

The watch is characterized by its dark design that features a steely gray case along with a black dial and strap, which are only deviated from with a series of hands and indicators. These eye-catching accents allow for easy time telling, while also conveying an almost science fiction-inspired aesthetic. The strategically placed lines convey the same aesthetic as the aforementioned church to allow for light to pass through.

The 'Light' watch concept is devoid of numbers and overt indicators to convey a truly unassuming design on the wrist.
