New Projects Watches – Ora Major Constellation & Michael Graves Newark Limited Edition Tribute Watch
By noreply@blogger.com (Mitch Greenblatt)
Michael Graves Newark Tribute WatchLimited Edition of only 150Few are credited with spearheading a single design movement; Michael Graves, well known throughout the world for design excellence, led several.
In the 1980s, Graves redirected the architectural conversation away from abstract modernism toward a more humanistic approach to architecture and product design and in the 90s his partnership with companies like Projects defined America’s expectation that great design should be affordable design.
In 1998, as one of the 17 original architects of Projects’ Building Timepieces Collection, Graves designed the Newark Museum Watch (shown below) in honor of the Museum of the same name. Now, 17 years later we are proud to re-introduce this classic timepiece, in tribute to and in celebration of the man and his work.
The Michael Graves Tribute Watch is 40mm in diameter and a limited and numbered series. Only 150 will be produced of each of the two variations and each will be indicated on the timepiece as 001/150.

“In the Newark Museum Watch, there is a feeling of depth that one doesn’t usually associate with timepieces, between the rings emphasizing the face of the crystal, and the actual watch face beyond the “glow” feature, with its blue colored light which increases the feeling of depth.”

“We believe humanism is the soul of design and enables transformative results. We view each design opportunity as an unfolding story – and the person occupying the space or using a product – as the central character. By focusing on the individual, we humanize design. As a result, people experience our work spatially, visually and emotionally.”
