wristwatch by Paul Kweton humorously interprets iconic shapes

 

Paul Kweton of Studio PAULBAUT creates the Postmodern Cone Watch, a playful reinterpretation of iconic architectural shapes in a wristwatch design. The watch features a cone-shaped case paired with an oversized cylindrical crown, embodying the eclectic and bold aesthetics of postmodern architecture. The 3D printed dial, finished in baby blue, is contrasted by simple black hour and minute hands, drawing attention more to its form than to its timekeeping function.

The Postmodern Cone Watch expresses artistic freedom

 

Postmodern architecture, known for its curved forms, decorative elements, asymmetry, and vibrant colors, often integrates features from different historical periods in an unconventional manner. This influence is evident in the watch’s design by Paul Kweton, where colors and textures are chosen without regard for conventional functionality, instead serving as an expression of artistic freedom. The industrial design studio blends playful forms and bold colors in this design, challenging traditional expectations of what a wristwatch looks like and embodying the essence of postmodernism.
