OCULUS
This timepiece incorporates one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s more famous projects,
the Coonley Playhouse based outside of Chicago. It is the stain glass windows
which have been a popular design that has been revered and copied into many
items. The circles and squares go back to his use of geometric shapes that have
been integral in his designs. Designed in 1912, The Avery Coonley Playhouse was
originally a private schoolhouse on the estate of industrialist Avery Coonley.
Yet, just a few years after its completion, the Coonley’s had it converted into
a single-family residence, as it remains today. The timepiece’s stainless steel
case includes a blue enamel dial that is reminiscent of an Architects blueprint
drawing and features a 5-hand chronograph with two sub dials that track the
Chronographs function while in use. The case is made of Stainless Steel for
durability and has a domed mineral crystal. The natural calf-skin strap is finished
in brown and accented with white stitching. Dia.: 39mm / Depth: 12.2mm

philosophy. This watch, an abstract depiction of Frank Lloyd
Wright’s ‘December Gifts’ has a neutral gray patterned dial.

composes an automatic watch. The heartbeat open aperture
