I’ve been rather focused on generally vintage styled watches — or maybe “timeless” aesthetics.

I’m trying to look at adding a few pieces over the next year with a more contemporary/modern aesthetic. The only one I can think of that I have liked so far is the Averau 39 three-hand from Echo/Neutra, however, which isn’t super modern. I also like the Vortex models from Lum-Tec, though maybe not enough to buy one.

What are some people’s favorite watches that you consider “modern” looking (a pretty difficult thing to define)?

    I’m a bit biased since I just got one a few weeks ago, but if you want the minimalism look, it’s hard to top Junghans Max Bill.

    Defakto Transit Standard and the Defakto Kinetik Standard both stand out to me as modern minimalist watches done well.

      Oof, these have escaped my notice before and the Kinetik especially is stunning.

      I forgot to mention anOrdain, I’d call theirs modern in style.
