NEW MINUS 8 BRAND INSPIRATION.
Inspiration for the ‘new” MINUS 8 equally blends influences from a machined aesthetic and the beautiful landscapes and colors in GMT-8.
ANZA WATCH INSPIRATION.
For The Anza, the goal was to create a watch that was tough enough to be worn as an everyday piece and as an active tool, yet refined enough it could be worn as an accessory to elevate streetwear looks.
The Anza continues MINUS 8's “machined aesthetic,” but evolves it to also be soft, rounded, and human rather than always crisp and architectural.
