Another strikingly minimal design by S+ARCK is on the horizon. This is the first leather and digital combination timepiece from S+ARCK. Using repetition of form to distinguish itself, the two cases and the buckle are all the same height, width, and length. Time is displayed at the bottom display window and date is shown in the top. (Click any of the images for full size)
As is customary with S+ARCK, the buckle has been incorporated in such a way that it, when fastened, appears completely seamless.The strap adjusts by folding back on itself. Functions include time, date, day, and dual time displays (or a combination of the 4).
Price is in keeping with the rest of the S+ARCK line: $125.

What do people really want from design writing? More importantly, what can people do without?
That’s the question posed in the first post of A Brief Message, which “features design opinions expressed in short form—200 words or less.” Editor Liz Danzico explains:
With increasing sources for design reading and decreasing time to keep up, I looked at it as a large nod toward consilience. There’s a need for less, a need for approachable wisdom, and a silent plea for constraints.
By the time you finish reading each Message, you’ll hardly have finished a cup of coffee or taken the after-lunch stretch. Before you know it, it will be over. Just like that. And just like that you’ll know more. You’ll have more opinions. More context. More inspiration.
I’m looking forward to seeing what A Brief Message offers up. Go check it out, if nothing else, for the layout and typography.
