Lebond Norman Foster
Spanish watch brand Lebond has collaborated with renowned architect Norman Foster to create a timepiece that reinterprets traditional watchmaking conventions. The watch eschews conventional lugs, integrating the strap directly into the case for a seamless, continuous form and enhanced comfort. This design approach, along with a modular system allowing for interchangeable components, offers a fresh perspective on integrated watch design.
