In 2022, CAUNY launched the \"Architects of Time\" project to develop watches with some of the greatest contemporary architects.\u003cbr\u003eThis project was a new challenge even for renowned architects.\u003cbr\u003eThe theme of this project is not merely to create a watch, but to express \"time.\"\u003cbr\u003eThe watches, which express the continuous flow of time as a single product, are like wearable works of art.\u003cbr\u003eThis marks the first time in the world that designs sketched by hand by architects such as Tadao Ando, who has left numerous iconic buildings around the world, Alvaro Siza (Portugal), Rafael Moneo (Spain), and Souto de Moura (Portugal), have been released in the form of watches.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA watch is not a continuous succession of digital moments, but a tool that implies the passage of a day, distinguishing between morning and afternoon when the hands reach their apex, and is deeply connected to daily life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo achieve a perfect square shape when viewed from the front, a structure was adopted where the pin-lever bracelet is attached to a groove on the back of the case.\u003cbr\u003eThe thin, long Roman numerals evoke ancient sundials, powerfully coloring a dial that stands out for its simplicity and balance.\u003cbr\u003eThe hands trace linear lines that form the overall silhouette.\u003cbr\u003eOne model featuring red hands was born from a collaboration with the Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain, famous for its architecture designed by Moneo.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRafael Moneo\u003cbr\u003eRafael Moneo was born in 1937 in Tudela (Navarre), Spain.\u003cbr\u003eHe is one of the most notable figures in architecture over the past 50 years, receiving the Pritzker Prize in 1996 for his acclaimed work and the Praemium Imperiale in 2017.\u003cbr\u003eHe studied at the Madrid School of Architecture, and after graduation, he apprenticed under Jørn Utzon in Denmark, collaborating on the Sydney Opera House.\u003cbr\u003eIn 1985, he became the chairman of the Harvard University Graduate School of Design.\u003cbr\u003eHe has designed famous buildings such as the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, the Prado Museum and Atocha Station in Madrid, and the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in Los Angeles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMoneo's comment on this project:\u003cbr\u003e\"When I was asked to design a watch, I couldn't help but recall that I had previously designed clocks for the Logroño City Hall and Atocha Station. A watch is not a continuous succession of moments, like a digital clock, but is related to daily activities that distinguish between morning and afternoon, with 12 o'clock (noon) being the apex of the day. Accustomed to thinking in meters, working with millimeters and tenths of a millimeter was a disciplined task, where the texture of the material is always felt on the wrist.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout CAUNY\u003cbr\u003eEstablished in Switzerland in 1927, Cauny is a watch brand founded by the three Grebler siblings, Polish immigrants.\u003cbr\u003eCombining elegant and innovative design with Swiss quality, it was loved worldwide from the 1950s to the 1970s.\u003cbr\u003eInheriting a manufacturing spirit that balances affordability and high quality, Cauny has continued to create watches that blend tradition and innovation for nearly 100 years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003cspan class=\"item_cap\"\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"item_txt\"\u003eCase: 316L stainless steel\u003cbr\u003eWindshield: Sapphire glass\u003cbr\u003eStrap: 316L stainless steel\u003cbr\u003eStrap width: 18mm\u003cbr\u003eMovement: Quartz\u003cbr\u003eWater resistance: 3ATM\u003cbr\u003eSize: Diameter 30mm (including crown: 33mm) \/ Thickness 6mm\u003cbr\u003eWrist size: Approx. 14-19.5cm\u003cbr\u003eOfficial warranty: 2 years\u003cbr\u003eAccessories: Official warranty card\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CAUNY (カウニー)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51454351737152,"sku":"cmn001s","price":34650.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/8502\/5600\/files\/cmn001s_01.jpg?v=1768804503","url":"https:\/\/www.tokyo-watchstyle.jp\/en\/products\/cmn001s","provider":"東京ウォッチスタイル","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
