In 2022, CAUNY launched the \"Architects of Time\" project to develop 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 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\u003eFor the first time in the world, designs sketched by hand by architects such as Tadao Ando, who has left many famous architectural masterpieces 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 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 dome-shaped curved sapphire glass for the crystal and supple Italian leather for the 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 unifies the entire piece in monochrome, resembling Tadao Ando's concrete architectural works.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTadao Ando\u003cbr\u003eBorn in Osaka in 1941, he is a leading global architect representing Japan.\u003cbr\u003eHe did not study architecture at university, but after working as a professional boxer, he taught himself architecture.\u003cbr\u003eDuring this self-taught process, he traveled around the world and visited the architecture of masters, which greatly influenced his architectural philosophy.\u003cbr\u003eIn 1969, he established \"Tadao Ando Architect \u0026 Associates\" and formally began his architectural activities. He served as a visiting professor at Yale University and Harvard University, and in 1997, he was appointed professor at the University of Tokyo.\u003cbr\u003eSince 2003, he has been an honorary 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 is 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 a freshness of the deep springs of life.' This watch celebrates those who do not just reach a destination, but continue to move forward, believing in the light ahead. It reminds us that youth is not a time, but a state of mind.\"\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 designs with Swiss quality, it was loved worldwide from the 1950s to the 1970s.\u003cbr\u003eInheriting the manufacturing spirit that balances affordable prices with high quality, CAUNY has continued to create watches that fuse 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: Stainless Steel 316L\u003cbr\u003e\nCrystal: Sapphire Glass\u003cbr\u003e\nStrap: Italian Leather\u003cbr\u003e\nStrap Width: 18mm\u003cbr\u003e\nMovement: Quartz\u003cbr\u003e\nWater Resistance: 3ATM\u003cbr\u003e\nSize: Diameter 37.5mm \/ Thickness 10.5mm\u003cbr\u003e\nWrist Size: Approx. 13.5-19cm\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":51454568038720,"sku":"cta004","price":34650.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/8502\/5600\/files\/cta004_01.jpg?v=1768808080","url":"https:\/\/www.tokyo-watchstyle.jp\/en\/products\/cta004","provider":"東京ウォッチスタイル","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
