I did not begin with watches as an object of interest, but with the person who taught me how to see them: my dad.
This project is a collection of watch dials inspired by personal stories from the Kuwaiti invasion.
Each experience is translated into a dial composition, where form, material, and mechanism are used to communicate a story. Different mechanisms are used across the collection to reflect each experience, while certain elements remain consistent to connect the collection as one. The shape of each dial also carries the story, giving each piece its own presence while staying part of the same system.
The outcome is three watch dials (39 mm), developed as physical prototypes and presented through a catalog that reveals the story behind each piece.
