“In 1960, before his architecture and product design had made him a household name, Michael Graves set out on a journey once considered essential for a young architect: a Grand Tour of the great monuments of Europe. As a recipient of the prestigious Prix de Rome, Graves traveled through Italy, Greece, Turkey, Spain, England, Germany, and France, studying and recording the masterworks of architecture.” (Michael Graves Images of a Grand Tour, by Brian Ambroziak.)

In the heart of Princeton New Jersey, the renovations on Witherspoon Street have become The Paul Robeson Center for the Arts. The project’s Honorary Chairman and designer Michael Graves describes it as a “landmark project for Princeton which will make an enormous contribution to the cultural life of our community.”

Witherspoon is also the namesake of his latest timepiece for PROJECTS. Like his building, The Witherspoon Watch is bold in its use of color and scale. The watch evokes the rich tones of the building’s blue and rust color bricks as well as its bold vistas of the town’s center.

Witherspoon measures 40mm in diameter (1.6″) and is made of stainless steel, complimented by a 20mm leather band (3/4″) with colored stitching.

The new Michael Graves – designed Paul Robeson Center for the Arts on historic Witherspoon Street is in the heart of Princeton, NJ. Graves describes his building as a “landmark project for Princeton that will make an enormous contribution to the cultural life of our community.”

The Witherspoon Street Art Council is bold in scale and colorful in spirit – just like Graves’ latest bold and colorful timepiece for PROJECTS – the “Witherspoon” Watch! The scale of the dial (face) is grand; just like the oculus window overlooking the pocket park in Princeton, and the colors are bright, bold and spirited.

A smaller version of the unisex Witherspoon, this 30mm Ladies version has all the correct proportions for the smaller wrist.

The Ladies Witherspoon measures 30mm in diameter (1.15″) and is made of stainless steel, complimented by a 16mm leather band (5/8″) with colored stitching.

Ladies Orange Witherspoon with blue second hand and matching orange stitched band (Model #9102 O) – $125
