16 Watches Every Minimalist Needs to Know About

We’ll never deny the outfit-amplifying powers of a statement piece of jewelry, but perhaps big showstoppers are not realistic for everyday wear—at least for some. That’s why a simple, understated, and practical accessory seems so appealing when it comes to building a well-rounded wardrobe. Specifically, a sleek, minimalist watch.
Each of the 16 slides ahead shows a toned-down watch design that makes for a perfect everyday accessory. Not all timepieces are created equal, either. Look out for Elizabeth and James’s new 200 Series Watch, which takes a futuristic approach; Linjer’s recently released design that’s casual and timeless; or a refined, luxe style from the likes of Piaget. Click on for the 16 watches that should be on every minimalist’s radar.
Up next, meet the photographer and TV personality whose "worst advice" is a huge lesson for us all.
