Named The Sculpture Watch, the timepiece has a dial that includes four intersecting blocks of colour within a circular case that resembles a watch designed by Siza for Cauny.
According to Holl, his watch was designed to be a dialogue between the two architects and was directly informed by a compliment the Portuguese architect once gave him.
"On July 25, 2018, I gave a summer lecture in at the Porto Academy," Holl told Dezeen. "Siza came to my talk and came up to me after and said 'Steven, you use colour like Matisse, I must try in my next project'."
"Siza is the greatest living architect," he continued. "I will never forget that afternoon. This watch is an homage to Alvaro Siza,"
