There’s no shortage of affordable, minimalist watches these days. Even the larger brands that used to only deal in the mechanically absurd and technically impossible have taken notice of this new niche and tried to craft their own offerings. Few of them deliver like the monochromatic offerings that are the TID No.1 Watch. One watch has a black face paired with white hands and numbers. Playing yang to the other’s yin is a white face with black numerals and hands. Both are housed in a black ion plated stainless case, powered by a Japanese Quartz movement and hold on to your wrist with the assistance of the included woven nylon NATO wristband. If watches are in fact obsolete, someone forgot to tell the designers at TID.
