Walters pulls out a Braun wristwatch, which then completely sets in place where his present design language takes inspiration from. He says, “I already have a few of those Braun table clocks, and then I saw a couple of ads online for the wristwatch and thought to myself, ‘now, that’s a designer’s watch.’ But I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone with a Braun wristwatch; they seem kinda rare out in the wild. Maybe people don’t want to be wearing a watch made by the same company that makes shavers? But, these people are clearly missing out.”
So now we understand that when he set out to release his first watch, he wanted it to be something that anyone could wear, any day. It would have to be an easy-to-use watch, with a clean minimalist design approach. All of which then explains Marin Instruments and Walters’ Standard and Polar skin divers. At 39mm, rendered in black and white, with large lume-plots for the hour markers, 200m water resistance and a 60-click unidirectional, fully lumed bezel, the Marin Instruments Skin Diver really presents a thoroughly loaded dive watch.
