"Caldera" - Pontos Décentrique GMT by Patricia Urquiola, Designer and Architect
In 2010, Maurice Lacroix and Wallpaper launched their first joint project with designers Gwenaël Nicolas, Arik Levy and Neil Barrett, a re-interpretation of the 2007 Red Dot Award-winning Pontos Décentrique GMT.
For this year’s joint project Maurice Lacroix and Wallpaper sought uncompromising designers who are true to their beliefs and whose work reflects their own styles. The result is an impressive trio, consisting of Spanish designer Patricia Urquiola, Italian architect Rodolfo Dordoni and Belgian designer Kris Van Assche.

Each of them has created a unique interpretation of the "Pontos Décentrique GMT" - free of any aesthetic preconditions. The watches were presented at "Baselworld" last March.
Antiquorum Auctioneers are delighted to partner on this project by organising the online auction. The proceeds will go to three charitable organizations of the Designers’ choice.
