Wrist Watch, Leather Strap, Steel Case, Black, 1½ in.

Alessandro Mendini's work as an intellectual, artist, cultural promoter, designer and architect has been the subject of monographic studies in numerous languages.  In 1989, with his brother Francesco, he opened the Atelier Mendini in Milan, designing many buildings all over the world.  He says, "I like the fact that this watch is named after the moon and expresses its calm roundness and silent mystery.  This moon-watch, with its image of calm roundness, inspires a peaceful and astral reading and a tranquil progression of time, days, nights and seasons.  As is sometimes the case with the moon, this watch also seems somewhat timeless."
