In 2022, they launched the \"Architects of Time\" project, developing watches with some of the greatest contemporary architects.\nThis project was a new challenge even for prominent architects.\nThe theme of this project is not merely to create a watch, but to express \"time\" itself.\nThe watches, which express the continuous flow of time as a single product, are like wearable works of art.\nThis marks the world's first release of watch designs based on sketches by architects such as Tadao Ando, who has left many famous architectural masterpieces around the world, as well as Álvaro Siza (Portugal), Rafael Moneo (Spain), and Eduardo Souto de Moura (Portugal).\n\nA green apple watch designed by architect Tadao Ando from his drawings.\nWhat meaning did Tadao Ando imbue in the green apple design?\n\nThis watch reminds us that youth is not a period of time, but a state of mind.\nThe round case and leaf-shaped hands evoke the green apple, a symbol of youth that is the motif of this watch.\nAvailable in large and small sizes suitable for all genders, it features a domed sapphire crystal and a supple Italian leather strap.\nThe green case and strap, with their immediately recognizable motif, make a striking accent for any outfit.\nThe beautiful hairline-finished silver case unifies the overall design in monochrome, reminiscent of Tadao Ando's concrete architectural works.\n\nTadao Ando\nBorn in Osaka in 1941, he is a leading global architect representing Japan.\nHe did not study architecture at university but learned it through self-study after working as a professional boxer.\nDuring this self-study process, he traveled the world, visiting the architectural works of masters, which greatly influenced his architectural philosophy.\nIn 1969, he established \"Tadao Ando Architect \u0026 Associates\" and officially began his architectural career. He served as a visiting professor at Yale University and Harvard University, and in 1997, he was appointed professor at the University of Tokyo.\nSince 2003, he has served as an emeritus professor at the University of Tokyo.\nHe received the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 1995 and the Order of Culture in 2010.\n\nTadao Ando's comment on this model:\n\"This watch reflects the spirit of the green apple. It is unripe, a little sour, but full of hope. American poet Samuel Ullman wrote, 'Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind, the courage to face challenges without fear, the resilience to keep dreaming despite setbacks.' This watch celebrates those who believe in the light ahead and continue to move forward, not because they have reached their destination. It reminds us that youth is not a time, but a movement of the heart.\"\n\nAbout CAUNY\nFounded in Switzerland in 1927, CAUNY is a watch brand established by the three Groebli siblings, Polish immigrants.\nCombining elegant, innovative design with Swiss quality, it was loved worldwide from the 1950s to the 1970s.\nWhile upholding the manufacturing spirit of combining affordability and high quality, CAUNY has continued to create watches that fuse tradition and innovation for nearly a century.\n\n\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: Stainless Steel 316L\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\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CAUNY (カウニー)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51454567743808,"sku":"cta003","price":34650.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/8502\/5600\/files\/cta003_01.jpg?v=1768808005","url":"https:\/\/www.tokyo-watchstyle.jp\/en\/products\/cta003","provider":"東京ウォッチスタイル","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
