Obaku Denmark watches combine these two elements and allow your personality to shine through.

Obaku Denmark - ZEN Philosophy

The idea that the objects we usually adorn ourselves with should exude a sense of calm and serenity was crucial to the birth of Obaku Denmark. In Asia, Zen philosophy provides a commitment to natural simplicity in thought and action. Obaku Denmark takes its name from a branch of Zen philosophy. This branch forms a universe characterized by existing tranquility and the absence of superfluous details. The Northern European countries have a long design tradition that combines functionality and simplicity. Obaku Denmark has inherited the best of both cultures and makes the most important characteristics of the Obaku philosophy visible in its models.

The Obaku Designers

All Obaku Denmark watches are designed by Danish designers Christian Mikkelsen and Lau Liengård Ruge. They have combined the best of Scandinavian design art and Zen philosophy. This created a completely unique design with clear expression. All watches are characterized by a pure, harmonious design, combined with a calm, balanced color composition and high functionality. All models offer a balanced design down to the smallest detail; nothing has been left to chance. One might think that creating a simple and minimalist watch is one of the easiest tasks. In fact, the exact opposite is true: the simpler the design, the greater the effort required for perfection. Even minor design flaws immediately catch the eye. Fine details such as the size and shape of the crown, the hands, the dial, the indices, or the color of the strap's reverse side are just a few examples of what needs to be considered on the path to perfection.
