Unique Design Timepieces Product Sheet by Patricia Urquiola, Rodolfo Dordoni and Kris Van Assche

“Caldera” - Pontos Décentrique GMT by Patricia Urquiola, Designer and Architect “My philosophy is to try to keep a kind of intellectual rigor, because I’m an architect by profession. The concept of the design is to keep it very clean, giving it a playful side.”

Patricia Urquiola sees a watch as more than just something you use to tell the time, and this is evident in her sculptural rendition of the Pontos Decentrique GMT, the redesign of which she wanted to keep really clean yet playful. The proceeds of the sale by auction of Patricia Urquiola’s watch will go to the Global Diversity Foundation, www.globaldiversity.org.uk.
