Title of Design: Headwind
Contestant: Mr Tam Kwok Tung, Benny
Sponsoring Company: Wincy Horological Limited
'Headwinds' interprets the hard and difficult times during our life journey. It is important to uphold perseverance in order to unleash our full potential to move forward.
The design concept of 'Headwind' is presented by the allocation of the two operational buttons located on the case back. The lower button represents the traditional crown for winding and hand setting functions. The upper button is engineered to adjust a newly adapted 2nd time zone, featuring a floating disc connected to the sub-dial on the watch display, through a gearing transmission mechanism.
The interaction between the watch mechanism and the motion of the wearer’s wrist represents the combination of both science and art, and the pursuit of breakthroughs in innovation.
