Lebond Siza (by Álvaro Siza)

LEBOND SIZA

Swiss made mechanical automatic watch fully designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Alvaro Siza in 2022, at the age of 89.

The inspiration for the watch came from the Leça swimming pool, which Siza designed in 1966 at the age of 28. The watch case shape was based on the square main pool, and the watch hands were adapted from the minimal restroom signs that Siza used on numerous projects.

The watch is made of titanium grade 5, which was chosen by Siza for its lightness and beautiful micro-sanded matte finish. The strap is crafted from FKM black rubber and comes with a deployant clasp for comfort and durability. The watch case back displays the exposed movement, while the signature "A. Siza" floats on the sapphire crystal, making this watch a timeless piece.

The Lebond Siza watch is an exceptional timepiece that seamlessly blends style and functionality, showcasing the architect's talent for creating minimalist and elegant designs.

 “Space and time move architecture.”

“There already exist many beautiful round watches. I want to create something different.”

“It is an elegant and sophisticated watch. It will be my Sunday watch.”

Alvaro Siza, 2022.

 ALVARO SIZA

Born in 1933 in Matosinhos, Portugal, Alvaro Siza Vieira is widely regarded as one of the most highly renowned architects of his generation. His sculptural works have been described as "Poetic Modernism," and his designs have left a significant impact on the world of architecture.

In 1992, Siza was awarded the prestigious Pritzker Prize, and was considered a successor to early modernists. The jury citation praised Siza's shapes, molded by light, for their deceptive simplicity and honesty.

Siza's collaboration with Lebond Watches has resulted in the exclusive Lebond Siza watch edition.
