NOVA - Absolute reduction to the essentials - BOTTA with Mario Lenke

Klaus Botta, 04.09.2023

Balanced minimalism can lead to the maximization of aesthetics. The NOVA is the perfect example of this. What does absolute design reduction to the essential components of a modern wristwatch look like? How much complexity can be removed without diminishing the core benefit of a watch as a time display?
These and other questions about the NOVA are discussed in this video by Mario Lenke in conversation with Klaus Botta.
