Adesse Watch

Adesse

Adesse is an ultra-minimalist watch that acts as a memento to enjoy the present. The minimalist approach to becoming 'present' is to remove the unnecessary. Adesse reimagines the traditional analog watch with minimalist principles, and questions what is absolutely necessary to tell the time. Do you really need to see the numerical indicators? The minute hand? The hour hand? Designed through subtraction, traditional watch features are removed. A sculptural piece is carved out of the watch face. The face rotates, covering and deliberately revealing just enough to tell the time.

Adesse Watch by Jansen Che has been selected as a creative illustration of fashion design by the A' Design Award & Competition. Adesse Watch earned the Silver A' Design Award in Jewelry Design in 2021. The A' Jewelry Design Award is an international, juried, academic and meritocratic design recognition program that honors superior design of rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, brooches, pendants, cufflinks, anklets and more.
