Obaku Denmark is an exclusive collection of watches with a focus on simple, serene design. The collection is backed by a philosophy of blending two different traditions of simplicity found in European and Asian culture.

ure. An oasis of calm, balance, and harmony in the midst of a world in constant movement. Regardless of where on the planet we may be, we all need our own personal paradise where we find pleasure in small details. A soft curve, the spray from a wave, or the sound of rustling leaves. The idea that there should be a sense of calm and balance in the items we use to adorn ourselves is what gave birth to the Obaku Denmark collection. In Asia, Zen philosophies gave rise to natural simplicity – in both thought and act. Obaku Denmark takes its name from a branch of Zen philosophy creating a universe characterized by a sense of calm – free from all superfluous details. The Northern European countries have a long design tradition featuring functionality and simplicity of composition. By blending the unique simplicity found in the two worlds Obaku Denmark has created a new minimalist approach to design and life.
