OBAKU Octagonal Philosophy Danish Design Watch - Ocean Blue X Rose Gold - V253LXSLML - 32mm

In the Nordics, design never pursues ostentation, but rather an "eternal balance." OBALU infuses this spirit into every timepiece—with pure lines and minimalist proportions, it returns time to its most essential form. The crystal is crafted from scratch-resistant sapphire crystal glass, both transparent and durable, clearly showcasing every minimalist detail of the dial. Whether under the glow of daylight or the soft light of evening, it reveals a unique textural depth. This restrained yet pure design is the very soul of Nordic style. OBALU believes that beauty stems from the natural order and harmony. The dial's color palette draws inspiration from Nordic natural landscapes—tranquil seas, cool limestone, the faint light of morning mist—integrating a reverence for nature within its minimalist form.

After years of immersion in Japanese Zen culture, they began to focus on how to integrate and deconstruct Eastern Zen minimalism with Nordic functional minimalism, striving to create even purer, more refined, and perfect minimalist works. The term OBAKU originates from Japanese Zen, symbolizing the brand's design philosophy, which upholds the Zen pursuit of understanding the workings of the universe and seeking eternal truths. Thus, all things in daily life, when observed introspectively—such as elegant curves, ripples from the wind, or the rustling of leaves—become sources of design inspiration. This aligns perfectly with the Nordic designers' preference for drawing inspiration from nature and a simple way of life.
