Johan Link introduces a look at the LinkOne timepiece which is inspired by the rugged landscapes of Iceland where raw geometric structures complement the soft natural beauty. The scenery is captured seamlessly as Link, the Swiss architecture student sets out on the journey to form a watch that represents the charm of Iceland.
His vision came to life with the LinkOne as something that borders between precision and creativity. The design process took months to form, starting with the initial sketch, 3D printing, and prototyping to create a fine balance of form and balance. The distinctive timepiece is elegant and simple whilst also highlighting the innovative spirit of Johan Link. The LinkOne has a black anodized aluminum case for a strong structure.
