Building Timepiece’s 10th Year Anniversary addition – High Museum Watch
Originally designed in 1998 and re-issued in 2008 Richard Meier designed the High Museum Watch as a tribute to the famed museum in Atlanta. Both the Building Timepieces Collection and The Richard Meier High Watch pay tribute to his museum design.
The Museum focuses upon the interplay of space and light, reflecting the essence of the Museum’s soul. Similarly, his High Museum Watch uses a partially opaque dial and soft-glow button feature to play with light and space day or night.
The unisex sized case of the High Museum Watch measures 36mm in diameter (1.42″) and 7.35mm (0.29″) thick. It is made of a brushed stainless steel and has a clear cut out index on the frosted dial marking the twelve o’clock position. It is available with either a stainless steel mesh band or a white or black leather band. The High Museum Watch is water-resistant to 100ft.
“My work is an attempt to find, to reveal, and to redefine a sense of order, to extract from our culture both the timeless and topical. This, to me, is the basis of style. Fundamentally, my meditations are on space, form, light and how to make them. The goal is presence, not illusion, and this I pursue with unrelenting vigor for I believe that this is the heart and soul of architecture”.
