The hardest part of designing a minimal watch? Knowing when to stop removing things.

This concept started with a client brief to revive the feel of classic minimalist timepieces without copying them. No retro imitation, no over-modernized departure. Just a natural evolution.

The dial composition was the trickiest part. Spacing, hand lengths, index placement: every element had to earn its spot. Removing things is harder than adding them, and there's patience in that kind of restraint.

Case profile is slim, lug geometry is resolved, and every curve transition is clean without being showy.

Curious: what's one design detail on a watch that you think most people overlook?

Can illustration become part of architecture?

I've been exploring the idea of taking my geometric illustrations beyond fashion and transforming them into pieces that live within interior spaces.

Instead of treating artwork as something added to a room, I wanted it to feel like it belongs to the architecture itself—quiet, minimal and timeless.

This concept is part of my ongoing visual exploration for VALMA, where fashion, art and interior design share the same visual language.

I'm curious—would you see work like this in a home, boutique hotel or gallery?

Day 5 of my contra journey until I earn 10x hired.

I have came quite ahead in my journey, within 5 days I have led my profile to be indexed in Discover. As an amateur to contra I thought that every new profile is visible to be searched but I was wrong, you don't get discovered until you reach a minimum discovery score. Currently I am at 71 discovery points and my target is to reach 100 within a month from today.

I am doing more projects on framer, weblfow, figma and doing my best to eaen a verified badge and its just a matter of time until everything falls in the right place.I will keep posting my work and requesting reviews because why not, what harm will it do even if I dont reach my goal, atleast I am in the right direction and I will succeed and that's for sure.

Grix is a geometric display typeface built for dominance. based on strict modular grid logic, every letterform is deliberate — sharp transitions, angular notches, and heavy visual weight work together to anchor any composition.
