In 2022, CAUNY launched the \"Architects of Time\" project, which involves developing watches with some of the greatest contemporary architects.\u003cbr\u003eThis project was a new challenge even for prominent architects.\u003cbr\u003eThe theme of this project is not just 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 is the first time in the world that designs sketched by their own hands, including those by Tadao Ando, who has left numerous masterpieces of architecture 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\u003eJust as a chair should \"look\" like a chair, a clock should \"look\" like a clock. New things do not always have to be aggressive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSiza's drawings elevate simple forms into works of art.\u003cbr\u003eThe slim steel case and Italian leather strap are connected by a single link, providing a bracelet-like feel.\u003cbr\u003eThe distinctive design of the hands is devised not to mark an instant, but to capture time as a flow.\u003cbr\u003eThis model features a slim, small case with a mirror dial, making it ideal for women who prefer smaller watches, as well as men who want to wear a fashionable small-sized timepiece.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eÁlvaro Siza\u003cbr\u003eBorn in Matosinhos, Portugal, in 1933.\u003cbr\u003eWinner of the Pritzker Prize in 1992, he is one of the most awarded architects in history.\u003cbr\u003eHe is internationally recognized as one of the most prominent figures in contemporary architecture.\u003cbr\u003eAfter graduating from the Faculty of Fine Arts at the University of Porto in 1955, he quickly garnered attention for his exceptional talent and taught at various universities in Europe, North America, and South America.\u003cbr\u003eHis work spans the globe and has inspired generations of architects.\u003cbr\u003eHis notable works include the Leça da Palmeira Swimming Pools in Portugal and the Faculty of Architecture building at the University of Porto, from which he himself graduated.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSiza's comment on designing a watch from a freehand drawing for the first time:\u003cbr\u003e\"The history of watch design is also a history of millions of new models and modifications. I have walked that path with the aim of making this change inconspicuous, and for this watch to 'look' like a watch. New things don't always have to be aggressive.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout CAUNY\u003cbr\u003eCAUNY, founded in Switzerland in 1927, is a watch brand established by the three siblings of the Grebler family, Polish immigrants.\u003cbr\u003eCombining elegant and innovative design with Swiss quality, it was loved worldwide from the 1950s to the 1970s.\u003cbr\u003eInheriting the manufacturing spirit of offering both 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: Italian Leather\u003cbr\u003eStrap Width: 16mm\u003cbr\u003eMovement: Quartz\u003cbr\u003eWater Resistance: 3ATM\u003cbr\u003eSize: 35mm diameter \/ 6mm thickness\u003cbr\u003eWrist Circumference: 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":51454486282560,"sku":"csz002","price":31900.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/8502\/5600\/files\/csz002_01.jpg?v=1768806919","url":"https:\/\/www.tokyo-watchstyle.jp\/en\/products\/csz002","provider":"東京ウォッチスタイル","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
