Architect 2001S

Product Description

Model: Architect 2001S Copyrighted Design by Xezo. Limited edition of 500 pieces.

At the dawn of the third millennium, in the year 2001, Xezo embarked on the daunting task of creating a timepiece accurately reflecting Time itself.
The idea came from observations of ancient classical architecture in general, and in particular the ruins of Erechtheum Temple (on the Acropolis in Greece) finished by 405 B.C. Its unique plan features three facades at different levels, and is famous for complex, exquisite details; most notably the loveliest Ionic capitals Greece ever produced.

After three years of trial and error development, in 2004 Xezo’s designer finished the work of art now known as the Architect 2001. This timepiece mirrors the temple’s classical beauty in many crucial ways. Each of the reverse columns on both sides of the case signifies one of the shrine’s façades. And the nine rectangular see-troughs--found on the top and bottom of the timepiece--resemble the moldings of the temple’s porch supported by ethereal sculpted figures.
Finally, after almost 2,500 years, a select number of Architect 2001 owners can now share in the eternal beauty of the Erechtheum Temple and capture Time itself on their wrists.
