The Reverse Watch Collection from Michael Young is the ultimate minimalist timepiece on the market. This collection of watches was designed for Odm, with the idea in mind that less is more.

These watches may not be very user-friendly, but they are a sweet alternative to the conventionally styled watches that currently flood the marketplace.
