Origins of Zero

DJ Horne notoriously wore the number 0 as the nation rooted for the underdog team of NC State to the ACC Championship and NCAA Final Four. The number zero is personal to guard DJ Horne, used as a momento to his early basketball career, and the odds placed against him in becoming a championship player on the big stage.

The origin of the number zero is deeply instilled in VIANI Watch Company's ethos.

VIANI is the only solar watch company to proudly represent Hindi Numerals, credited to be the first numeral system to utilize the number Zero. An often overlooked history that was critical in the advacement of society.
