TWO MINDS

Timepieces that tap other fields for out-of-this-world creations.

- John Ng

Drawing inspiration elsewhere, the constantly changing universe of timepieces gets a whole lot more interesting. In a design collaboration with New Delhi artists Jiten Thukral and Sumir Tagra, Rado unveils the True Square Over the Abyss watch which highlights the importance of human interconnection. Described as social design, Thukral and Tagra are always trying to understand the meaning of existence while questioning the status quo, thus naming their work: over the abyss. The distinctive time display superimposes the local time of the wearer marked by two discreet SuperLumiNova dots against several time zones of the world presented in gradation of colours ranging from blue to pink at the centre of the dial. The case-back features an image from the duo’s ongoing Dominus Aeries painting series.
