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.
