Design Details

Unique Properties: The Simple Code IV design retains the same key feature as its predecessor by utilizing the center of the watch face to display information rather than just a simple dot. However, this latest iteration has taken this concept a step further, incorporating a bold accent color in the center to make it even more eye-catching and easy to read. The vibrant accent color not only adds visual interest but also highlights the date and day-in-week mark, which run in an arch connecting to the time index, creating a visually striking spiral effect.
Inspiration: The Simple Code IV Rouge And Paon evolved from the previous generation called Simple Code II. In this design, I even simplified more on the elements, keeping it more towards minimalism, meanwhile, I want to make it easier to catch attention and also easy to read the time.
