Each of the 16 slides ahead shows a toned-down watch design that makes for a perfect everyday accessory. Not all timepieces are created equal, either. Look out for Elizabeth and James’s new 200 Series Watch, which takes a futuristic approach; Linjer’s recently released design that’s casual and timeless; or a refined, luxe style from the likes of Piaget. Click on for the 16 watches that should be on every minimalist’s radar.
