In 2022, CAUNY launched \"Architects of Time,\" a 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 creating a watch, but expressing \"time.\"\u003cbr\u003eThe watches, which express continuous time as a single product, are like wearable works of art.\u003cbr\u003eThis is the first time in the world that designs sketched by the architects themselves, including Tadao Ando, who has left various famous architectural works around the world, as well as Álvaro Siza (Portugal), Rafael Moneo (Spain), and Souto de Moura (Portugal), are being released in the form of watches.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA clock is not a series of instantaneous digital刻, but rather a tool that implies the passage of a day, distinguishing between morning and afternoon when the hands reach the top, 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 a 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 depict linear lines that form the overall silhouette.\u003cbr\u003eOne model, which features a red hand, was born from a collaboration with the Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain, famous for its architecture by Moneo.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRafael Moneo\u003cbr\u003eRafael Moneo was born in Tudela, Navarra, Spain in 1937.\u003cbr\u003eHe is one of the most prominent 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 graduating, he apprenticed under Jørn Utzon in Denmark, collaborating on the Sydney Opera House.\u003cbr\u003eIn 1985, he was appointed chairman of the Harvard University Graduate School of Design.\u003cbr\u003eHe has worked on 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 clock is not a series of instantaneous moments like a digital clock, but is related to daily activities that distinguish between morning and afternoon, with 12 o'clock (noon) as the peak of the day. Accustomed to thinking in meters, working with millimeters and tenths of a millimeter was a disciplined task, ensuring that the quality of the material was always felt on the wrist.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout CAUNY\u003cbr\u003eFounded in Switzerland in 1927, CAUNY is a watch brand established 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\u003eWhile inheriting a manufacturing philosophy that balances affordable prices with 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":51454469341504,"sku":"cmn004","price":34650.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/8502\/5600\/files\/cmn004_01.jpg?v=1768806593","url":"https:\/\/www.tokyo-watchstyle.jp\/en\/products\/cmn004","provider":"東京ウォッチスタイル","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
