关于 Pride 腕表
Pride(骄傲)是一款中性腕表,灵感来源于世界各地每年举办的骄傲游行。时针、分针与秒针分别呈现彩虹的六种色彩,在表盘上持续运行,全天不断构成变幻的画面组合。正午与午夜时分,三根指针交汇对齐,组成一道完整的彩虹,象征团结一致。表壳采用黑色IP镀层不锈钢打造,配以隐藏式表耳,与黑色皮质表带浑然衔接。40毫米表壳内搭载日本石英机芯。

- Pride, LGBTQ+, Rainbow, Unity, Kinetic
- 生产技术
- 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.
- 设计挑战
- 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.
- 研究
- 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.
- 灵感
- 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.
- 项目周期
- 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.
- 操作流程
- 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.
