Kristof Devos | A perfectly useless morning

Kristof Devos

Kristof explains his design inspiration:

"Lying in the grass and looking at the birds in the sky is one of my favourite pastimes, I really wanted to put this feeling into a watch.

My last name ‘Devos’, means ’The Fox’ [in Flemish]. Because of mysterious family history, I’m the first one born with this name, so it’s somewhat special to me. It like a new bloodline starts with ’Devos'. I have always felt close to the animal, although I’ve rarely seen a fox in the wild."

This watch is a companion piece to Kristof's previous design: A perfectly useless afternoon. As with the first, it's a gentle reminder that time spent doing nothing, is time well spent.
