PATINATED MINIMALISM WATCH REVIEW

That's been riffing on one minimalist dress watch design since August of 2017. That 38-millimeter watch is formed just like a puck, without any lugs, a comparatively flat crown, a white-colored no-date dial with small numerals and markers and hair-thin hands. All that restraint appears to stay in service of enhancing the distinctively crafted bezels catch our eyes.

And also the bezels are very eye-catching

Flint provides them with either in marble, raw copper, or copper that’s been oxidized to show either eco-friendly or blue. Individuals eco-friendly and blue bezels aren’t your typical muted blue-eco-friendly patina, but rather are made in saturated, complex colors that appear to be a lot more like jewel-gemstones than tarnish. Oxidizing the copper-a procedure known as patination-involves use of various chemicals to the copper, then appropriating that process and locking the end result in position having a sealant. All that metal-craft, plus all set up and finishing, is performed in England (parts are mainly Swiss).Technically, the bezels are bezels meaning that they're connected to the situation to be able to contain the very, but visually the brushed stainless situation and also the bezel appear like equal partners inside a sandwich design. This is also true when searching in the watch in profile, where this sandwich effect is most apparent.

Straps mount invisibly underneath the situation

And they're made from premium goat leather in colors varying from natural beige to close orange to some deep emerald eco-friendly. Goat is really a supple leather that appears (and it is) rugged. Its knurled grain compliments the highly figured bezels for any multi-textured appearance, which aligns with Flint’s statement that the organization “was born from a love for texture, materials and functional design.”

Just like numerous dressy, minimalist watches today, Flint intends their watches to become suited to both women and men. Of all of the watches I have seen that tell you they are unisex, I believe the Flint might really be probably the most effectively non-gendered watch of all of them-especially considering that there's only one size available. For why this watch is apparently so gender neutral, I’d indicate the possible lack of lugs, the obscurity from the bezel materials, and also the supple-yet-rugged goat skin straps, which are novel enough they don’t have a strongly gendered message like a lot of many other materials and shapes do.
