Obaku: The unity of simplicity

April 2007


Merging two things in an artful way means getting rid of everything not really needed. Paring something right down to the bare essentials of simplicity, and then giving it life, shape and texture.

Obaku Harmony is an exclusive collection of watches with a focus on simple, serene design. This collection is backed by a philosophy of blending the two different traditions of simplicity found in the European and Asian cultures.

The idea that there should be a sense of calm and balance in the items we use to adorn ourselves is what gave birth to the Obaku Harmony collection.

In Asia, Zen philosophies have given rise to a natural simplicity – in both thought and act. Obaku Harmony takes its name from a branch of Zen philosophy and has created a universe characterised by a sense of calm – free from all superfluous details.

The European countries also have a long design tradition featuring functionality and simplicity of composition. Obaku Harmony has inherited the best from both these cultures and has blended the simplicity found in both.

Obaku will be presented by Comtech Watches Co. Ltd. at the Basel fair from 12th to 19th April 2007 at stand no. A11/hall 6 Alpha and at Hotel Europa a few steps away from the fair ground.
