Dyced Avant Garde - Design Concept

This contemporary timepiece draws inspiration from two distinct periods in watchmaking history. On one hand, it reflects the 1970s steel sports watch revolution, when designers like Gerald Genta introduced more geometric and minimalist designs, often featuring distinctive integrated bracelets. Genta’s iconic creations, such as the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, Omega Constellation, and Patek Philippe Nautilus, set the stage for a new era of bold, modern timepieces. On the other hand, the design is influenced by the elegance and opulence of the Roaring '20s and '30s Art Deco movement—characterized by its shiny, decorative, and intricate aesthetic. This fusion of eras creates a unique balance of modern simplicity and vintage sophistication, resulting in a timepiece that honors both design legacies.
