The Maven 'Brut' watch is a Brutalist timepiece designed with functionality and form in mind to offer wearers a way to keep time without losing sight of style. The timepiece combines two geometric shapes -- the square and the circle -- to achieve an elegant form that helps them both play off of one another. The squarish case is accented by its circular dial, which has been radial-brushed to help it shine elegantly past the matte exterior.
The Maven 'Brut' watch only features a series of simple markings around the dial in place of numbers to help with time telling, while the date window keeps ones calendar in mind. The watch features a Japanese quartz movement and is the winner of a Red Dot Design Concept Award for 2022.
