Danish watch brand combining Scandinavian minimalist design with Zen philosophy. The name derives from Zen Buddhism, promoting mindfulness and simplicity. Known for ultra-slim timepieces featuring clean aesthetics, stainless steel mesh bracelets, and Japanese quartz movements at accessible price points.
Obaku Denmark was founded in 2007 by Danish entrepreneur Johannes Arvin and Chinese yoga practitioner Catherine Chan. The founders had previously operated a watch manufacturing company since 1992, and combined their passion for watchmaking with a shared love for clean, minimalist design and Eastern philosophy. The brand name derives from Zen philosophy, reflecting the belief in mindfulness, simplicity, and finding beauty in imperfection. This unique blend of Scandinavian design principles and Eastern philosophy created Obaku's distinctive identity as a brand that represents 'a state of mind and a way of being.'
