Overview

A celebration of how much fun a designer can have rising to the challenge of enlivening the familiar, in this case the watch. Shape, size, color, & materials can all be used to transform everyday items that capture the fleeting style of the fast-moving, machine-age 20th cent. Presents 36 such icons in chronological order to let you see how form follows fashion across the century. The text links each watch design, shown in specially commissioned color photos, to its Zeitgeist. Mechanical, electrical or digital, some are simple, classic watches while others are novelty designs. A witty look at how designers have transformed functional timepieces into objects of desire.
