The history of the wristwatch can be summed up in a simple bell curve. First they were simple and functional, then they grew to gargantuan proportions as bells and whistles got slapped on, and now they are coming back to their roots. For a stylish but minimal watch, look no further than these from Komono watches. Each sports either a clean 41mm or 46mm face and a band that adds a little bit of character whether you choose one in brogue, camo, or simple leather. All the different styles are water-resistant to 3 atm. Best of all, unlike many timepieces, these won’t leave your wallet aching. And during the holiday season, that’s fantastic news.
