D012 (dimension 012)
Everything we see in our lives, from the moment we open our eyes, is communicated visually, in flat, in motion, in three dimensions. They are created based on the main concepts of graphic design, points, lines and surfaces.
Then they are transformed into various forms. If life did not have them, it would not form a subspace.
The inspiration of D012 comes from this concept.
The unique open design of the minute dial is topped with a linear seconds hand. The triangular hour hand points the hours and runs around the dial through a special structure. They perfectly represent the concept of points, lines, and surfaces as they move and create different shapes on the surface.
This simple concept creates unlimited possibilities.

Title of Design: Beginning
Finalist: Lau Ka Ho
Sponsoring Company: Progressive Timepieces LTD.

[Beginning] interprets ‘Back to the nature’. The idea is generated from human wisdom using natural resources to divide the time zone by projection of the sun.

The design concept is inspired by the ancient timepiece ‘Sundial’, using a single hand to display time. A minimal number of parts being used is the essence of this design to illustrate the precise craftmanship of watch technology and simplicity.

Minimalism has also become the philosophy of life in today's world, pursuing the highest level of truth and returning to nature.

Title of Design: Geometry
Finalist: Tang Chun Kit

The idea of “minimalism” has influenced various aspects in arts and culture. Apart from visual art of architecture, painting, sculpture, installations and design, it has also heavily influenced the way of expression in music and literature. Minimalist has also become an increasingly popular lifestyle, influencing the design of various products, fashion, architecture, interior design etc. Of course, minimalism is also a very popular style in timepiece design.
Simplicity is not simple. The concept of “minimalism” has been interpreted differently in various industries, and is often used in interior design. This work is inspired by the application techniques used in interior design, highlighting “lines” and sense of space, using geometry as the theme, and returning to the basic design. Points, lines and planes constitute the concept of geometry. This work uses simple lines and geometric graphics to highlight the concept of “space” in the timepiece as well as the effect of light penetration in a fashionable and simple way.
To put the concept of “minimalism” in practice, the geometric design of the watch deliberately eliminates the design of lugs and crowns. The movement is using Hybrid Smart Gear box Movement and far infrared technology is adopted on the watch glass for time adjustment function. Smart movements generally give an impression that they are used in sports style watch design. The adoption of smart movements in the present simplistic design is therefore a challenge to the designer.

Title of Design: Spacetime
Finalist: Lee Tung Chun

The inspiration comes from the combination of minimalism and exploration of the universe, with simplicity as the main focus and the details elevated. All extra lines, angles and shapes are reduced. Everything is simplified to just space and time. There is only a ring on the dial with four holes, the ring represents the known space and those holes represent breakthrough and footprints. The process of exploring the universe is to discover the unfinished space. Movement on the ring and holes like the footprints of exploration.

Anais Nin said, “The dream was always running ahead of me. To catch up, to live for a moment in unison with it, that was the miracle.” Having a fruitful life means being brave enough to protect what you hold on to and desire. A wonderful life is always about hope, dream and a positive attitude.

“Dreamtime” is inspired by the dreamlike bubble. Bubbles are just like our goals and dreams. We should work hard to pursue them but not to forget our original intention. We should believe that we have the power to make our dreams come true, otherwise, the dream will fly away and never be seen again. Although not every dream can be realized, we should hold on to every dream.

With yellow color being the main color, it gives people a feeling of radiance and hope. I hope everyone can be courageous to pursue their dreams and goals.
