Time in wood

Watch collection in Yuyunjian Design Studio Berlin

In the second half of 2015, I designed a wristwatch with my best friend Weiye Lu. I think in this project we used exactly the inspirational function of the design unintentionally. We would combine the wood and the watch, but did not find a suitable way. By chance, I learned a Chinese traditional story that you can nourish the wood. i.e. if you touch and play a piece of wood often, the surface of the wood will become smoother and smoother with shine.
From this I once thought that we should design the wood as the clock case. i.e., do you want to touch the part every day. After time has passed, you can also see that the wood on the clock is slowly becoming shiny. We believe that this is also a way of time.
Touch is the fifth sense of the human being and the most intricate and rich senses that plays a more magical and noble role in our daily life. We can feel comfort, intimacy, kindness, gentleness and thoughtfulness through touch. Touch can enlighten people’s minds.
