humism Watches - Kinetic Art Watches
nspired by the watch as an artistic medium, we seek to create beauty out of time’s movement.
OUR ART - Humism is as much an art studio as a watch brand, viewing the watch as a creative canvas with unique design possibilities. We want to re-imagine watch design, to create a timepiece that makes the most of this medium's uniqueness. And the most unique and fundamental part of a watch, as we see it, is movement. We are inspired by the potential of using time's movement to create visual beauty, and perhaps even philosophical meaning. We want to create kinetic sculptures for your wrist.
INSPIRATION - We draw inspiration from the Kinetic Art movement, vibrant in the early 20th century. Kinetic artists broke from traditional static art pieces, and created art that produced beauty through movement. Our designs reject the role that time has taken in the modern world, a number that regiments our lives. Instead of a keeper of routine, our watches turn time into spellbinding art, revealing the beauty of the flowing present. Time is no longer a number — time is beauty, time is art. The present is no longer to be planned away, but to be appreciated, as the flow of time mesmerizes and enchants us.
OUR QUALITY - For Art to endure, it needs a strong foundation. Every one of our watches is meticulously crafted from premium materials sourced from around the world. There are no short-cuts to Quality.
