DECEMBER GIFTS

In 1927, Wright designed a series of twelve monthly covers based on seasonal themes for
Liberty magazine. When submitted, they were judged to be too avant-garde for the time but
would become the basis for later interpretations executed in diverse media. Each design is
an example of Wright's practice using the tools of his trade. This design is a detail from the
drawing, December Gifts, depicting festive holiday gifts with ribbon and bows abstracted to
striking geometric shapes. Water resistant to 30 meters.
Height: 35mm / Width: 33mm

APRIL SHOWER

This watch, with gold-tone stainless steel case and brown leather strap,
was adapted from the ‘April Showers’ drawing, developed by Wright for
Liberty magazine in 1927. The design is an abstraction of spring rain, so it
is appropriate that Wright used a 45-degree grid of squares overlapped
by circles suggesting ripples in a rain puddle. Water resistant to 30 meters.
Case Width: 39mm
Lug Width: 20mm

THE OCULUS AUTOMATIC

Form and Function exist as one which is part of Mr. Wright’s philosophy. This watch,
an abstract depiction of Frank Lloyd Wright’s ‘December Gifts’ has a neutral gray
patterned dial. Featured is a stainless steel case and black leather strap with a three-
piece buckle closure. Beauty and utility are what composes an automatic watch. The
heartbeat open aperture and glass exhibition case back, offer a look into the automatic
movement. Watch features a domed mineral crystal and water resistance to 30 meters.
