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.

ROBIE HOUSE

Recognized as a cornerstone of American architecture, the Frederick C. Robie
House, built in 1906 in Chicago, Illinois, is one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s most famous
works where he boldly established the Prairie style that blended the boundaries
between interior and exterior spaces. His distinctive art glass windows featured
throughout in geometric diamond and chevron abstractions of American prairie
flora are the inspiration behind the design of our exclusive timepiece. Made with a
rectangular case to reflect the strong horizontal lines of the Robie House, it features
a silver-tone stainless steel case with applied indexes and a four-layer constructed
dial that is finished with a curved, metalized mineral crystal that showcases the blue,
gray, and green colored dial, a 3-hand movement with a signature second hand,
and a caseback that includes the date the Robie House project was completed. This
collector’s watch also features a gray textured leather strap with the window design
embossed on the inner strap, a deployant buckle closure with Frank Lloyd Wright’s
signature, and water resistance to 30 meters.
