With the ubiquity of iPhones and Apple watches, watches seem less pertinent now, and yet a watch is an adornment that is – pardon the pun – timeless. Whatever your preference, the Danish watch brand Obaku has a stylish watch to suit your aesthetic, gender, lifestyle, or type of event. The inspiration comes from a philosophy of blending the two different traditions of simplicity found in the European and Asian cultures.
Obaku’s name derives from Zen philosophy, promoting mindfulness and simplicity. Combining ancient Eastern culture with minimalist Danish designs, Obaku represents a state of mind and a way of being. With a focus on elegant simplicity and effortless effectiveness, Obaku sees beauty in imperfection and embraces serenity and balance. You can find ultra-slim watches in gold, rose gold, silver, and patterns in Obaku’s extensive offerings.
The typical OBAKU watch has a battery lifetime of three years, and Obaku watches are designed with focus and consideration on every detail, encompassing high functionality and solid craftsmanship. Their watches come with a three-year International Limited warranty and free worldwide shipping.
Origin Story
In 2007, after 27 years of crafting watches for top brands, the founders of Obaku decided to create their own line. Christian Mikkelsen and Lau Luengard Ruge, the master designers behind the first Obaku watches, have continued to create most of the stunning timepieces in the collection.
A Socially Conscious Company
Obaku’s owners invest in Obton solar parks, effectively offsetting enough C02 yearly to cover all shipping of Obaku watches many times over. Through Obaku’s Watches for Life program, they have supported the higher education of several people who have no other means of support, and also give regular support to a children’s home in Thailand. Obaku supports the Recycle, Reduce and Reuse program. They seek to have a low carbon footprint and carefully control the waste at their offices and at manufacturing facilities.
