In 2022, CAUNY launched \"Architects of Time,\" a project to develop watches with some of the greatest contemporary architects.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis project was a new challenge even for prominent architects.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe theme of this project is not just to create a timepiece, but to express \"time\" itself.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe watches, which embody the continuous flow of time as a single product, are like wearable works of art.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis marks the world's first release of watch designs created from sketches by architects such as Tadao Ando, who has left numerous architectural masterpieces around the world, as well as Álvaro Siza (Portugal), Rafael Moneo (Spain), and Souto de Moura (Portugal).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\nA green apple watch designed by architect Tadao Ando from his sketches.\u003cbr\u003e\nWhat is the meaning Tadao Ando imbued in his green apple design?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\nThis watch reminds us that youth is not a period of time, but a state of mind.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe round case and leaf-shaped hands evoke the green apple, a symbol of youth, which is the motif of this watch.\u003cbr\u003e\nAvailable in large and small sizes, suitable for all genders, it features a domed curved sapphire glass crystal and a supple Italian leather strap.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe green case and strap, with their instantly recognizable motif, add a striking accent to any outfit.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe silver case with its beautiful hairline finish unifies the entire piece in a monochrome palette, resembling the concrete architectural works of Tadao Ando.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\nTadao Ando\u003cbr\u003e\nBorn in Osaka in 1941, he is a leading Japanese architect of international renown.\u003cbr\u003e\nHe did not study architecture at university but, after working as a professional boxer, taught himself architecture.\u003cbr\u003e\nDuring this self-taught period, he traveled the world, observing the architecture of masters, which greatly influenced his architectural philosophy.\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 1969, he established \"Tadao Ando Architect \u0026 Associates\" and began his architectural career in earnest. He served as a visiting professor at Yale University and Harvard University, and in 1997, he became a professor at the University of Tokyo.\u003cbr\u003e\nSince 2003, he has been an emeritus professor at the University of Tokyo.\u003cbr\u003e\nHe was awarded the Pritzker Prize in 1995 and the Order of Culture in 2010.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\nTadao Ando's comment on this model\u003cbr\u003e\n\"This watch reflects the spirit of the green apple. Unripe, a little sour, but full of hope. The American poet Samuel Ullman wrote, 'Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is the courage to face difficulties without fear, the resilience to continue dreaming despite setbacks.' This watch honors not those who have reached their destination, but those who continue to believe in the light before them and move forward. It reminds us that youth is not a period of time, but a state of mind.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nAbout CAUNY\u003cbr\u003e\nFounded in Switzerland in 1927 by the three Grebler siblings, Polish immigrants, Cauny is a watch brand that achieved global popularity from the 1950s to the 1970s, thanks to its elegant, innovative designs and Swiss quality.\u003cbr\u003e\nEmbracing a manufacturing philosophy that balances affordability with high quality, Cauny has continued to craft 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\u003e\nCrystal: Sapphire Glass\u003cbr\u003e\nStrap: Italian Leather\u003cbr\u003e\nStrap Width: 15mm\u003cbr\u003e\nMovement: Quartz\u003cbr\u003e\nWater Resistance: 3ATM\u003cbr\u003e\nSize: Diameter 31.5mm \/ Thickness 10.5mm\u003cbr\u003e\nWrist Circumference: Approx. 12-16cm\u003cbr\u003e\nOfficial Warranty: 2 Years\u003cbr\u003e\nAccessories: Official Warranty Card\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CAUNY (カウニー)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51454563647808,"sku":"cta001","price":34650.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/8502\/5600\/files\/cta001_01.jpg?v=1768807777","url":"https:\/\/www.tokyo-watchstyle.jp\/en\/products\/cta001","provider":"東京ウォッチスタイル","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
