Scallop is Michael Graves' last watch design for Projects

The last watch created by influential Postmodern architect and designer Michael Graves for US brand Projects is finally available after three years of development. Graves, who died in 2015 at the age of 80, originally designed Scallop in 2013, but its complicated dial engraving of curving symmetrical lines, which echo the scalloped edges of the face, proved challenging to produce.

The engraving is created to echo the effect of a technique called guilloché, which is generally reserved for fine jewellery.
