“I wanted ROKU to become a precision tool, a real-time keeping device,” states Konstantin Grcic.
Konstantin Grcic’s new ROKU Watch for Issey Miyake draws upon the correlation between two geometries: a hexagon and a circle.
The six-sided watch case relates to the 12 hours chronometry.
The round dial resembles the circular movement of time.
Two strong shapes interplay with each other.
Just like the notion of time:
The continuous passing of hours/minutes/seconds, on the one hand, the punctuation of certain events on the other.
“Once the principal geometry had been established, the design went through a long process of refinement,” continues Grcic.
“A watch needs thorough attention to detail – not only because of its small scale. I wanted ROKU to become a precision tool, a real-time keeping device.”
“I see ROKU as a unisex watch that will attract males and females alike. I expect that those, who choose to be wearing the watch, do it for two reasons: First of all, because they like the object, or rather think that the object suits them. And second, because it is a good watch.”
“Users will appreciate the careful considerations that went into the manufacturing and functionality of the watch. For me, ROKU merges elegance and beauty with pure function.”
