Title of Design: Present
Finalist: Yip Tsz Yan

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That’s why it is called a present.
The camera lens influenced the design. The top of the case is a mechanical design that can be opened and closed manually, metaphorically indicating that the glorious moment may be recorded as you wish. The improved shutter is designed to be unsealed, making reading the time easier. The design pattern on the outer ring of the case is derived from a film negative, implying that time flies but does not forget the delightful things in life. The strap is a streamlined metal that is cohesive and interwoven, a metaphor for how life is woven with the flow of time. The strap is designed without a clasp and relies on its inherent metal elasticity to open and shut when worn, emphasizing the time required to grab and collaborate with the elasticity.
Life is like a movie. All you need to do is press the shutter button to capture the precious moment and cherish every minute of your life.

I was inspired by "The Thief of the Years", which is set as the story of the unity of the Luo Kee family after being separated from their families and after the natural disaster of Typhoon Wendy. The target audience for my design is the parents in the family. The 1960s and 1970s were turbulent times for Hong Kong. Most people who grew up at the grassroots lead a hard life. Without their efforts, there would be no happy family today. Therefore, we must cherish the present and seize the time we spend with our families.

In Africa, tens of thousands of animals go on a migration every year. In the process of migration, they will face different challenges and once the animals are targeted by the enemy, they can only rely on their own strength to fight the enemy, because the animals do not help each other.
Everyone has their own life, whether family members or friends are only bystanders in life, so even if we face difficulties, the power that others can give is limited. We must grasp the moment and learn to work hard for ourselves, not to rely on others, because everyone lives for themselves, and only by relying on ourselves can we become stronger.
