Lechner wristwatches

Designed with Balázs Kismarty-Lechner
In 2018 I got the opportunity to work with Lechner Watches on a new range. The project was very inspiring. My work didn't stop by finishing the CAD files. I participated the manufacturing process as well.
Ödön Lechner was a Hungarian architect who created buildings in art noveau style. His buildings are famous for their ornaments and colorful rooftops. These watches are a bow to his creations. The dials of the watch recall the tiles of the Hungarian Institute of Geology and Geophysics.
