Sometimes it is easy to overlook the basics. And by basic I do not mean easy, or simple. I mean essential, strictly what is needed, nothing more. I often feel that it is only when you strip things down to their core elements that you really get to the point where you see true elegance.
This is the Partitio from Stowa. Hours, minutes seconds. Clear, legible - iconic. No bells, whistles or gimmicks. A basic, honest watch.
