If Born Naked by Rupaul is the minimalist anthem we think it is, then this watch is the national emblem. Are minimalists a nation? Their intense devotion says so. Stripped of all but the bare necessities, the new Calvin Klein Swing is simplicity at its best. A black stainless steel case is framing the cogs and jewels, showing how time goes by like a modern version of a sand watch. With every wheel turning, the focus is solely on the time itself. If you’re one of those people who are chronically late, this watch might be just the right level of pressure you need in order to get somewhere on time.
And now for the geeky part… The cover is made out of sapphire glass which makes sure it it won’t break even in your wildest adventures. As the front clearly states, the Swing is Swiss-made. And we all know – that’s basically the ultimate quality proof in design. Due to its slender frame design and the discreet band, the watch is unmistakably unisex and made in only 1999 pieces. As seconds, minutes and hours swing by, it’s absolutely clear – the time is in your hands. Make it count.
The Calvin Klein Swing is available online and in selected stores worldwide.
