A collector of vintage watches in all forms. Cheers. #weezergallery

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

After two years of diligent iteration, every line, surface, and edge of this timepiece has been considered, reconsidered, and ultimately crafted with intent and finished with my hands. A collaboration between myself, and @weezergallery who is a collector with very refined taste, reverence for heritage and an appreciation for watches that have clarity through form. This is our labor of love: Mariposa

Mariposa: I’m not sure whether it was conscious or not but I had been studying @tadao_ando_ando ‘s works a few months before embarking on this project. These pictures are taken with images of portions of his buildings which have a strong parallel with the dial of Mariposa. Of course, many other works and watches have similar design attributes, but reflecting on my design I feel like I was somewhat influenced by his architecture.
.
First image: the index ring of Mariposa has the same outline as the picture.
.
Second image: Closely spaced parallel vertical lines match the wooden beam pattern.
.
Third image: The ring around the sub-seconds was directly influenced by this image. The two layers of the roof are slightly offset. The seconds ring has two offset sets of lines on the inside and outside of the ring.
.
Fourth image: A picture I took when I visited the @themodernfw which is an @tadao_ando_ando designed museum.

Mariposa: The first picture has the watch on the case of the donor desk clock. The desk clocks’s case is surprisingly industrial. It is a simple block of aluminium - well machined but does not have any decorative features. With our watch we wanted to balance something aesthetically sophisticated while still reflecting the movement’s more industrial look and finish. Similarly in the second image, our dial is a similar monochrome single piece of metal as the donor dial. We have enhanced the visual appeal with different finishing on the dial to add interest and contrast. I toyed with both blue and purple hands and we ultimately chose to use purple hands because they pop better and add that special factor to an otherwise muted, monochrome watch.

Mariposa: The Cal360 is a relatively large movement, so to keep the watch’s lug to lug to under 45mm meant that the seal couldn’t be a placed around the movement like most watches do. The seal sits at the same perimeter as the movement so it is stacked below the movement. This added thickness which I have tried to manage with the sloping sides of the case. That design element both reduces the appearance of thickness and also gives the watch a great deal of dimensionality and three dimensional form. The shoulders (as @weezergallery calls them) or crown guards, further reduce the apparent thickness and provide a visual break from the side with their polished surfaces contrasting against the graining of the side of the case. From the second image you can see how deep the movement sits inside the case to make room for the seal. The caseback is simple and has a display back matching the shape of the movement. The finishing with straight graining is coherent with the movement finishing.

Mariposa: A refined exploration of Art Deco geometry, Mariposa introduces depth through textures, visual momentum through strong vertical lines in a deliberate monochromatic palette. Its only departure —a pair of heat purpled hands—adds a quiet flourish to an otherwise restrained composition. Mariposa is defined by its strong but simple silhouette, vertical lines and a monochromatic palette broken by the contrast of the hands.
