A Minimalist Watch from Mondaine
With minimalism being a recurring theme in the watch world, this might be a good time to spotlight an attainable minimalist watch from Switzerland. It's the Mondaine Essence--a 41mm, quartz watch that makes extensive use of eco-friendly materials. The case is made from a castor oil compound and the strap is a combination of ricinous oil and recycled textiles. It has a Swiss quartz Ronda 513 RL movement.
