VOID Watches is a Swedish design company turned watch brand based in Hong Kong and founded in 2008 by mechanical engineer and designer David Ericsson who launched the brand with a set of iconic square digital watches known as the V01. We work with geometric shapes, basic colours and simple materials to measure time. Every now and then we receive the opportunity to design other products as well. Simplicity is at the core of our design philosophy, a philosophy strongly rooted in our Swedish heritage. We prefer simple shapes and use materials that are best suited for the purpose. In astronomy, voids are the empty spaces between filaments, the largest structures in the Universe, that contain few, or no, galaxies. Voids typically have a diameter of 40 to 500 million light years, so large that we can't even begin to grasp their vastness. In this they are similar to the concept of time, something that is always present but not to be seen or touched, only to be measured.
