LaSalle Street Bridge Watch

The design inspiration for this timepiece draws from Chicago’s iconic LaSalle Street Bridge. The designer ingeniously synchronizes the bridge’s distinctive lifting motion with the mechanical watch’s hourly chime, creating a dynamic ‘synchronized bridge lift and chime’ effect. This breathes life and rhythm into the timepiece, awakening the wearer’s inner beat and power, while transforming the passage of time into a tangible source of enjoyment for the eyes and ears.
The dial is engraved with a city skyline of high-rise buildings, crafting a staggered, dimensionally rich scene.Classic Roman numerals at the center convey profound historical and cultural weight,creating a striking contrast with the modern architecture and evoking visual tension between vintage and contemporary elements.Beneath the bridge motif, a blue ripple-textured finish symbolizes the Chicago River,enhancing the overall urban narrative and adding chromatic dimension.
The timepiece features a 316L stainless steel case paired with a blue leather strap, delivering robust corrosion resistance and premium tactility. Its exhibition caseback puts the mechanical beauty of the self-winding movement on full display. The oscillating weight mirrors the distinct contour of LaSalle Street Bridge, engraved with "THIRTY-TWO (32) JEWELS" to directly showcase the jewel count and precision engineering within.
This transcends mere timekeeping, embodying a singular artwork that fuses architectural artistry, mechanical craftsmanship, and urban character into one cohesive expression.
