Time Float, 2022
The design of Time Float draws inspiration from the Riva Aquarama boat gliding on the water at high speed. It combines the boat's timeless, elegant appearance with the identity of L'Epée 1839, a leading Swiss clock manufacturer. The goal is for Time Float to appear speedy, even when stationary.
