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.”

TIMEPIECE

ALVARO SIZA CHOSE TITANIUM GRADE 5 AS PRINCIPAL MATERIAL DUE TO ITS LIGHTNESS AND BEAUTIFUL MICRO-SANDED MATTE FINISH. THE ARCHITECT WANTED THE STRAP TO BE MADE OF BLACK RUBBER WITH A DEPLOYANT CLASP FOR ITS COMFORT AND DURABILITY. THE WATCH CASE BACK SHOWS THE EXPOSED MOVEMENT AND THE SIGNATURE OF ALVARO SIZA FLOATS ON THE SAPPHIRE CRYSTAL, MAKING THIS WATCH A FOREVER TIMEPIECE.

“IT IS AN ELEGANT AND SOPHISTICATED WATCH. IT WILL BE MY SUNDAY WATCH.”
