DESIGN CONCEPT

ALVARO SIZA WANTED TO CREATE A SOPHISTICATED AND ELEGANT TIMEPIECE. THE WATCH WAS INSPIRED BY THE LEÇA SWIMMING POOL THAT THE ARCHITECT DESIGNED IN 1966 WHEN HE WAS 28. THE WATCH CASE SHAPE IS BASED ON THE SQUARE MAIN POOL AND THE WATCH HANDS ARE ADAPTED FROM THE MINIMAL RESTROOM SIGNS THAT SIZA USED IN MULTIPLE PROJECTS.

“THERE ALREADY EXIST MANY BEAUTIFUL ROUND WATCHES. I WANT TO CREATE SOMETHING DIFFERENT.”

ALVARO SIZA, 2022
