     The Frank Lloyd Wright Usonia watch features a
     striking 40mm 316L stainless steel case with a luxurious
     gold ion-plated finish, showcasing both elegance and
     durability. Its screw-down case back is adorned with
     the iconic Frank Lloyd Wright logo, engraved on the
     glass for a refined touch. A domed sapphire crystal
     with a 5-layer AR coating ensures optimal clarity and
     scratch resistance. The multi-layer dial includes a black
     matte base layer, a white luminous hour disc with
     red luminous hour indicators, and a top layer with 12
     symbol cutouts marking each hour, reflecting Wright's
     architectural genius. Powered by the reliable 8250
     automatic movement with a Bulova rotor, this watch
     offers precision and smooth operation. The smooth
     burgundy calf strap with black and white horizontal
     stitching complements the design, featuring a hot-
     stamped graphic pattern on the underside for a unique
     detail. The 3-piece buckle is etched with Frank Lloyd
     Wright's signature for a personalized finish. With a 30M
     water resistance rating, this timepiece is as functional
     as it is beautiful. Inspired by Wright's Usonian vision,
     which sought to create affordable, nature-integrated
     architecture, this watch honors his legacy and
     revolutionary approach to design.

     We wanted to create a truly unique
     timepiece in celebration of Frank
     Lloyd Wright's Usonian homes, not
     just in terms of aesthetics, but in
     functionality as well.


     We were inspired by the perforated clerestory panels that are a hallmark of many of these
     homes and used them as hollow hour markers. From there, we used a disc-hour hand
     construction that would highlight each board in red as the hours progressed. We chose red
     here as it is FLW's signature color and it gives a striking, high-contrast look. The colors of the
     watch are very intentional, as the gold case, burgundy strap and black dial are inspired by the
     warm tones of many of the Usonian homes. They were often brick and wood structures that
     blended seamlessly into the enivironment around them. As with all of our FLW pieces, the strap
     back features and embossed pattern. In this case, a collage of the various perforated boards
     featured on the dial.
