Santiago Calatrava "inspired by the idea of time" for Gübelin watch



Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava has designed a platinum watch named Ipsomatic for Swiss jeweller and watchmaker Gübelin.
The watch, which is the architect's first timepiece, has an organic, curved, 39-millimetre-thick case that is made from platinum.
According to Calatrava, he was informed by the history of the Lucerne-based company as well as the concept of time for his design.
Santiago Calatrava designed the Ipsomatic watch for Gübelin
"Working with a company that has such a long tradition and has been led by the same family for many generations was both a pleasure and a challenge for me: to find a proposition which states the high quality of Gübelin over time," said Calatrava.
"I was inspired by the idea of time," he continued. "Time exists because there is change, change means movement, the eternal essence of time is the dynamic component of its shape."
The design was informed by time and Calatrava's architecture
The watch case has a curved form that evokes Calatrava's architecture, which includes the transportation hub at New York's World Trade Center, the Turning Torso tower in Malmö and the Milwaukee Art Museum.
The watch is named Ipsomatic after a series of Gu?belin models made in the 1950s and 1960s.
