Sanaa has taken minimalist watch design to new heights with the Neko watch. The Neko watch was designed for Italian brand Alessi and features a design that is both face and strapless.
The Nekow watch has a polyurethane strap that is designed to wrap around your wrist. I am all for minimalist design, but the Neko watch seems to be taking things a little too far. How are you supposed to tell the time what time it is when there are no numbers to read?
