TAGS: wristwatch, watch, timepiece, horology, sapphire case, femto print, ultra modern, architecture RESEARCH ABSTRACT: This project demanded an extensive investigation of the historical design of luxury wristwatches. You have to be familiar with the latest materials and technologies and their limits to fully use their potential to create a new approach on an analog timepiece with a traditional two hand movement. CHALLENGE: The Architect had to be an elegant analog luxury timepiece, yet unconventional, ultra modern and authentic. It was strong challenge not to overdo it and keep the lines and shapes clean and symmetrical. Watches can have many features, but their essential function is to show the time clearly and unmistakably.
