Leading the line is the new signature watch for the ladies collection, the Obaku V185 timepiece. This new watch comes in a 38mm case with a 12mm mesh strap, creating a beautiful and feminine contrast between the look and the feel of the watch. Christian Mikkelsen served as Chief Designer for the watch, ensuring attention to the smallest details:

“With a clean, minimalist design every detail is important. Nothing can be left to coincidence as even the slightest flaw will stand out on a clean background”.

The stylish design comes in either a gold, rose gold or steel case with matching straps and dials. Powered by a Japanese quartz movement, the watch also comes in at a very attractive price point, under $200.

In response to increasing global demand for the brand’s creations, seven other sister models were added to the Obaku ladies collection, in addition to this signature line. The collection consists of elegant, clean and contemporary designs, which cover a breadth of tastes and budgets.

Among them is the new link bracelet watch, which presents itself both as a watch and a piece of jewellery. The high quality H-shaped linked bracelet comfortably hugs a 28mm case, which is beautifully curved with a flat back case. Fitting both for more formal and casual events, the watch is available in an impressive selection of colors.

Its mother of pearl dial and Swarovski elements index numbers create a nice balance between elegance and beauty. The watch is, according to designer Christian Mikkelsen, a perfect choice for the classy, contemporary woman:
