Are you a fan of clean design? Do you opt for neutrals over loud colors? Have you adopted the less-is-more mindset in your life in more ways than one? If you gave an affirmative answer to any of these questions, it’s probably safe to say that you’re a self-described minimalist. The pared-back design that’s best associated with the Scandinavian countries goes way beyond a design aesthetic, having become a lifestyle in its own right.
We’ve discussed the winter outfits that are perfect for minimalists and shared the best minimalist jewelry brands, but today we’re highlighting the cute (and affordable) watches that deserve to be on any minimalist’s radar. From cult watch brands like Daniel Wellington to lesser-known but equally as chic watchmakers, these timepieces are sure to fit in effortlessly with the rest of your simplistic approach to accessorizing.
