In 2022, CAUNY launched the \"Architects of Time\" project to develop watches with some of today's greatest architects.\u003cbr\u003eThis project was a new challenge even for famous architects.\u003cbr\u003eThe theme of this project is not merely creating a timepiece, but expressing \"time\" itself.\u003cbr\u003eThe watches, which express the continuous flow of time as a single product, are like wearable works of art.\u003cbr\u003eFor the first time in the world, designs sketched by architects such as Tadao Ando, who has left many famous architectural works around the world, Alvaro Siza (Portugal), Rafael Moneo (Spain), and Souto de Moura (Portugal) are being released in the form of watches.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA green apple watch designed by architect Tadao Ando from his sketches.\u003cbr\u003eWhat is the meaning behind Tadao Ando's green apple design?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis watch reminds us that youth is not a period of time, but a state of mind.\u003cbr\u003eThe round case and leaf-shaped hands evoke the green apple, a symbol of youth, which is the motif of this watch.\u003cbr\u003eAvailable in large and small sizes suitable for both genders, it features a domed sapphire crystal and a flexible Italian leather strap.\u003cbr\u003eThe green case and strap, whose motif is instantly recognizable, create a striking accent in any outfit.\u003cbr\u003eThe beautiful hairline-finished silver case maintains a monochromatic unity, much like the concrete architectural works created by Tadao Ando.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTadao Ando\u003cbr\u003eA world-renowned Japanese architect born in Osaka in 1941.\u003cbr\u003eHe did not study architecture at university, but after working as a professional boxer, he taught himself architecture.\u003cbr\u003eDuring this self-study process, he traveled around the world, visiting the architectural works of masters, which greatly influenced his architectural philosophy.\u003cbr\u003eIn 1969, he established \"Tadao Ando Architect \u0026 Associates\" and officially began his architectural activities. 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\u003eSince 2003, he has served as an emeritus professor at the University of Tokyo.\u003cbr\u003eHe received the Pritzker Prize in 1995 and the Order of Culture in 2010.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTadao Ando's comment on this model:\u003cbr\u003e\"This watch reflects the spirit of the green apple. It's 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 a temper of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.' This watch celebrates those who continue to move forward, believing in the light ahead, not those who have reached their destination. It reminds us that youth is not a period of time, but a state of mind.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout CAUNY\u003cbr\u003eCAUNY, founded in 1927 in Switzerland, is a watch brand established by the three Groebler siblings, Polish immigrants.\u003cbr\u003eIt achieved both elegant and innovative designs with Swiss quality, and was loved worldwide from the 1950s to the 1970s.\u003cbr\u003eInheriting the manufacturing philosophy of combining affordability and high quality, CAUNY has continued to create watches that merge 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\u003eCrystal: Sapphire Glass\u003cbr\u003eStrap: Italian Leather\u003cbr\u003eStrap Width: 18mm\u003cbr\u003eMovement: Quartz\u003cbr\u003eWater Resistance: 3ATM\u003cbr\u003eSize: Diameter 37.5mm \/ Thickness 10.5mm\u003cbr\u003eWrist Circumference: Approx. 13.5～19cm\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":51454567383360,"sku":"cta002","price":34650.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/8502\/5600\/files\/cta002_01.jpg?v=1768807912","url":"https:\/\/www.tokyo-watchstyle.jp\/en\/products\/cta002","provider":"東京ウォッチスタイル","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
