Laurinda Spear brings an unconventional modernism that is both abstract and romantic, playful as well as dramatic, and forceful. First recognized for her flamboyant contributions to Miami’s skyline with buildings like the Atlantis (the building with the hole in the middle!) and now for unique, playful and oh, so cool watch designs!

“The planets trace rings around the Sun, each one completing a full orbit in a different amount of time in relation to its distance from the Sun. Our most important measurement of time, the year, is based on this full rotation around the Sun. In fact, all our major units of time (day, month, year) are based on different rotation periods.

So, like the planets tracing their various orbits around the Sun, the rings on this watch each move with different rotational speeds to indicate the time.
