The Mexico-based company was founded by Juan Pablo and Nico in 2018. Its new collections of contemporary timepieces aim to put the brand on the map as an intersection of classic design and modern technology. The minimalist timepieces boast a frame of 316L stainless steel and an embedded sapphire crystal coating that makes the piece highly durable and scratch-resistant. The full-grain leather strap adds a sense of class and refinement to the fashion-forward watch collection. While the 'Chambra' capsule focuses on an authentic feel, the '[Coco](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crumb-couture-body-whip)' communicates a clean classic vibe. Finally, the final drop of Niklaas Fritz minimalist timepieces — the 'Emes,' is catered to the more adventurous spirit. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 71% | Activity: 90% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/watches) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Minimalist Timepieces:** There is an opportunity for disruption in the luxury watch industry by creating sleek, minimalist timepieces with durable materials. - **Affordable Luxury:** There is a growing trend towards affordable luxury, with consumers seeking high-quality products at an accessible price point. - **Classic Design with Modern Technology:** Combining classic design elements with modern technology can create innovative timepieces that appeal to a wide range of consumers. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Industry:** The fashion industry can benefit from incorporating minimalist timepieces as a versatile addition to their product line. - **Watch Industry:** The watch industry can explore designing more affordable timepieces without sacrificing the quality of materials used. - **Luxury Goods Industry:** The luxury goods industry can tap into the trend of affordable luxury by offering high-quality and stylish products at a reasonable price point. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Minimalist Bauhaus-Inspired Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/botta-watches.md) - [Refined Watch Debuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/temporal-works.md) - [Accessible Retro-Futurism Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vostra-vector.md) - [Icelandic Nature-Inspired Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linkone.md) - [Minimalist Militant Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timex-expedition-north-field-chrono.md) - [Glowing Minimalist Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ming-3702-minimalist.md) - [Accessible Mechanical Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/classivo-43.md) - [Stealthy All-Black Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unimatic-x-maxfield-modello-tre-u3sm-chronograph-watch.md) - [Minimalist Metallic Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zenith-defy-skyline-cx-edition.md)
