An Architect Thought It Was About Time to Design His Ideal Watch
Brooklyn architect and product designer Christo Logan turned an obsession with timepieces into the eye-catching, asymmetrical Good + Evil Omen wristwatch.
Born from a chance meeting in Taipei with a watch factory owner, multi-hyphenate maker Christo Logan of Two Parts emerged captivated by the idea of designing a timepiece. The Good Design Award-winning, Brooklyn-based architect’s exploration would eventually lead to his own 40mm case wristwatch realized with an eye-catching asymmetrical layout and some shadowy details… aptly named the Good + Evil Omen.
“It’s what happened after I became obsessed with making my ideal watch. The goal was to arrive at a design by combining, rethinking and subverting the basic elements of a timepiece,” explains Logan about his timely creation. “I ignored the conventional assumptions about what a watch should look like and started from ‘first principles’ to see where such an exploration would lead.”
The labyrinth watch face, red centerpiece plus symbol seconds dial, and off-center strap configuration all undoubtedly invite curiosity in its minimalist expression of the hours, minutes, and seconds.
Even more subtle is the watch’s flush crown and its analog motion delivered by Swiss made Ronda quartz watch movement. An anti-reflective sapphire crystal framed by a stainless steel case affords Logan’s analog watch a set-it-and-forget-it daily wear dependability.
The sum ...
