Minimalist

How minimal is minimal? Thoughts on Defakto?

That's one of the more legible one-handers I've seen. I am shocked to see something that is 1) minimalist, 2) German, and 3) one-handed that is actually attractive and functional instead of being some dour novelty manifesto.

When I see these watches I always think “would I be able to tell the time at a 0.5 seconds glance, running to catch a train carrying 2 suitcases and a backpack and a coat hanging because it’s too warm, while having a bite because I haven’t eaten anything since breakfast?” If the reply is no, it’s not worth my time or my money.

A long way to say that legibility is, in a time piece, paramount in my opinion. A watch is the tool that will probably save the day in one of these complicated situations when pulling the phone out of the pocket is going to be inconvenient or not advisable, or when it’s run out of battery.

Wow! I didn't know this brand and they are located ca. 40km away from where I live. I really like the style and will have a look at their website.

That looks pretty damn cool. 👌

Preferred a two hander, actually. But still, nice Defakto.

Love it!
