The Zen Philosophy

The birth of Obaku Denmark was inspired by the idea that the objects with which we usually adorn ourselves should radiate a sense of calm and serenity.

In Asia, Zen philosophy fosters 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 Nordic 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.

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 to create 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 opposite is true: the simpler the design, the greater the effort required for perfection. Even minor design flaws are immediately noticeable.

Fine details such as the size and shape of the crown, the hands, the dial, the indices, or the color of the strap backing are just a few examples of what needs to be considered on the path to perfection.
