Bend - 1: A Minimalist Watch Design by Nikita Bukoros

Award-winning timepiece that combines retro charm with modern functionality

Despite the rise of smartwatches and portable gadgets, there is still a demand for simple and minimalist accessories. The Bend - 1 watch, designed by Nikita Bukoros, perfectly captures this need with its sleek and timeless design.

The Bend - 1 watch stands out with its body made from a single piece of metal, allowing it to be paired with different types of belts, including classic belts with spring bar mounting or NATO straps. This versatility ensures that the watch can be customized to suit various fashion styles and lifestyles.

The watch's dimensions without the belt are 46mm x 34mm x 9mm, making it a comfortable and unobtrusive accessory for everyday wear. Its minimalist design and clean lines give it a sophisticated and elegant look.

Utilizing CNC machining technology, the Bend - 1 watch is crafted with precision and attention to detail. This manufacturing process ensures that each watch is made to the highest standards, resulting in a durable and reliable timepiece.

Functionally, the Bend - 1 watch features a button that activates the screen, displaying the time or date depending on the mode. Additional adjustment buttons are discreetly located on the rear panel, allowing for easy customization and operation.

Nikita Bukoros embarked on extensive research to create a design that would be as universal as possible, appealing to a wide range of individuals with different fashion preferences and lifestyles. The challenge was to go beyond existing watch design archetypes while maintaining a sense of timelessness and avoiding excessive novelty.

The Bend - 1 watch has received recognition for its exceptional design. It was awarded the Silver A' Design Award in the Jewelry, Eyewear, and Watch Design category in 2015. This prestigious accolade is a testament to the watch's outstanding expertise, innovation, and artistic skill. The Bend - 1 watch exemplifies excellence and evokes positive emotions, amazement, and wonder.

As the Bend - 1 watch continues to evolve and be refined, it remains a testament to the enduring appeal of minimalist design in the world of accessories.
