Tibor Kalman is my all-time design hero – if you get a chance, read his biorgraphy. He was someone that makes me love my job. At his studio, M&Co. (the ‘M’ stood for his wife’s initial), when they had down-time, they designed concepts for watches…here’s one that I love. Design to show you the only important time of the day…quitting time (apparently in the early 90′s they only worked til 5…nice)
More on Tibor: Tibor Kalman (1949-1999) founded the legendary, multi-disciplinary design firm M&Co in 1979. In collaboration with his wife Maira, they developed a conceptually progressive firm that initially created graphics for magazines,film titles and books. M&Co products challenge the conventions of design and typography. Matte black finish, brilliant white face with one black numeral (after all 5 o’clock may be most important time of day). Constructed in electroplated matte black finish aluminum with a genuine topstitched black leather band and matching black buckle. Each watch is engraved on the back with the motto “Waste Not a Moment.”
