January 2024 is upon us, and as we all look to refresh ourselves for the new year, it’s an ideal time to add a fresh watch to your collection. aBlogtoWatch has teamed with Mona to bring a new watch for the new year to one lucky commenter, with a crisp minimalist look and striking use of visual texture. Featuring a dependable Swiss movement, thoughtful use of color, and a clean, lugless presentation, the Mona Braddock Carmen will offer one winner a perfect start to 2024 on the wrist.

An elementally simple, fully lugless silhouette immediately sets the Mona Braddock Carmen apart on the wrist. Measuring in at 40mm wide, the round stainless steel case is elegantly compact, but Mona gives this minimalist shape a visual edge with aggressive texturing. The narrow flat bezel is matte blasted for a tough, purposeful look, while the case sides are fully finished with tight, sharply defined knurling. It’s this rugged finish that really defines the look of the Braddock Carmen, seamlessly blending tool-style surfacing with an artistically pared-back form.

The Mona Braddock Carmen’s bare brass dial is an instant eye-catcher, particularly thanks to its deep radially brushed finish. Mona tops this characterful golden surface with an intriguing, technical printed sector dial layout, blending instant legibility with a Bauhaus-esque restrained charm. The simple stick handset enhances this charismatically minimal feel, while the vivid red seconds hand adds just enough contrasting color to the mix.

Mona powers the Braddock Carmen with a reliable, accurate ETA 956.402 quartz movement. With slim dimensions and solid construction, it’s a classic quartz powerplant that should provide precise timekeeping for years to come. To complete the package, the Mona Braddock Carmen comes fitted with a suitably minimalist black Austrian calf leather strap. The Mona Braddock Carmen carries an MSRP of €290 Euro.
