Alessi Luna Watch

About the Designer
Alessandro Mendini Italy (1931 - )

Known for his particular interest in neo-modern and contemporary design, Alessandro Mendini has amassed much recognition as a designer, architect and image consultant for many corporations creating many objects, furniture and interior installations. Mendini describes his mission as one "to communicate through my objects and work in general, trying to say things that encourage people to deepen meditation and spirituality." Mendini's design of the Anna G. Corkscrew adds pizzaz and functionality to your bar tool collection. As functional as it is eye-catching, this corkscrew makes it a breeze to open your favorite bottle of port, while you turn heads in style. Inspired by Mendini's then girlfriend, the corkscrew, which was reissued in chrome-plated zamak in 2003, has been a fantastic success since its launch in 1994.

This watch is named after the moon and expresses its calm roundness and silent mystery. Watches are generally entirely rational instruments, devised almost exclusively for giving precision to our days. But this moon-watch, with its image of calm roundness, inspires a peaceful and astral reading and a tranquil progression of time, days, nights and seasons. As is sometimes the case with the moon, this watch also seems somewhat timeless.
