DESIGN CONCEPT

DESIGNED BY NORMAN FOSTER WITH THE DESIGN & INNOVATION UNIT OF THE NORMAN FOSTER FOUNDATION, THE WATCH IS CONCEIVED AS A TOOL FOR EVERYDAY PERFORMANCE.

HIS LIFE AS A PILOT AND DECADES OF TRAVEL MADE THE DUAL-TIME FUNCTION ESSENTIAL.

CONVENTIONAL LUGS WERE REMOVED: THE STRAP BECOMES A CONTINUATION OF THE CASE, WRAPPING NATURALLY AROUND THE WRIST.

“ENGINEERING CAN ALSO BE BEAUTIFUL WHEN THE WAY SOMETHING WORKS IS MADE VISIBLE.”

NORMAN FOSTER, 2026
