Miquiz
Clocks
2016
This series of watches is inspired by Aztec culture and aesthetics. The Aztecs had precise knowledge about the length of the year, the determination of the solstices, the phases of the Moon and various constellations.
They paid special attention to the measurement of time and their calendar always had the Sun (God Tonatiuh) at its center.
Based on these references, this series of watches was created that take the (simplified) names of some months of the Aztec calendar.
