Oer Pride Polsloarloazje

Pride is in unisekse polsloarloazje ynspirearre troch de jierlikse pride-optochten dy't oer de hiele wrâld holden wurde. De oere-, minút- en sekondewizers drage de seis kleuren fan de reinbôge en bewege trochrinnend oer de wizerplaat, wêrtroch't se yn 'e rin fan 'e dei wikseljende gehielen foarmje. Om middernacht en om tolve oere middeis rjochtsje de wizers har ta ien folsleine reinbôge, in symboal fan ienheid. De kast is makke fan swart IP-roestfrij stiel mei ferstoppe lugs dy't naadloos oanslute op it swarte lederen bantsje. Yn de kast fan 40 mm is in Japansk kwartsuurwurk ferwurke.

Parsepakket

Credits, teamleden en technyske details levere troch de ûntwerper.

Unike Eigenskippen: The watch features six colors that continually move about the face. Twice a day, at both noon and midnight, the colors come together to create the shape of a rainbow. Beauty comes in all colors and is heightened by those colors' alignment. Show your pride with this meaningful timepiece.
Ofmjittingen & Ferpakking: The watch weighs .5 lbs, the case's diameter is 40mm and made from Black IP Stainless Steel. The case height is 8.85mm (0.35"). Inside the case, the watch contains a Japanese quartz movement. The watch is water-resistant up to 3 ATM. The band size is 20mm. The band is black and made from leather.
Labels: Pride, LGBTQ+, Rainbow, Unity, Kinetic
Produksjetechnology: The pride watch is unisex. It is made of black stainless steel with hidden lugs that connect the band seamlessly. The watch was developed from a combination of watercolor painting, drawing, technical drawings, and models were made using digital design software.
Untwerpútdaging: The design challenge was to create a watch where the primary imagery was part of the watch's function rather than an applied graphic. The hour, minute, and second hands move about the watch, creating varied compositions throughout the day. The watch hands are colorful, but the case and band provide a monochrome, elegant backdrop.
Undersyk: After extensive research on the symbolism of the LGBTQ rights global movement, it was found that the rainbow is the most prevalent symbol. Several design concepts were then created using the rainbow, with the selected option as one in which the hour, minute, and second hands are the rainbow and move about the watch. This was preferred over a graphic application of the rainbow for two reasons: 1. The rainbow would become intrinsic to the function of the watch, 2. The hands come together and form the rainbow, which is a metaphor for unity.
Ynspiraasje: The pride watch is a timepiece dedicated to those individuals who have bravely stood with pride for the rights of all people. The design is inspired by pride parades that occur annually worldwide, which focus on the global civil rights movement for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, non-binary, and queer social acceptance.
Projektdoer: Alex Donahue created the conceptual and technical drawings in Fall 2019. The watch began production in Spring 2020 and was released in Summer 2020. It has been bought by design stores and individuals throughout the world.
Operaasjestreamferrin: The watch continually transforms as the rainbow bands move about the case to indicate the hour, minute, and second. They align at midnight and noon to form a full rainbow, a symbol of unity.
