Dezeen spoke to artists Thukral and Tagra about their upcoming design for Swiss watch brand Rado in the final live panel discussion as part of Rado Design Week.
Dezeen editor-in-chief Marcus Fairs was joined by the founders behind the art and design practice, Jiten Thukral and Sumir Tagra, to talk about a special edition of the Rado True Square watch that was teased earlier today in a video filmed by Dezeen at the duo’s studio in New Delhi.
For their design, Thukral and Tagra are creating a watch face that includes two colourful, intersecting dials that will aim to give a new perspective on telling time.
“Our inspiration was to feel connected with a lot more time zones and we wanted to bring something unique to the experience of reading time,” Thukral said in the video.
The duo’s design will also include imagery from their ongoing series of paintings called Dominus Aeries, a series of complex artworks that explore visions of the future interlaced with references to the past.
Based in New Delhi, Thukral and Tagra have been working together for the past 15 years on work including paintings, sculpture and installations that explore identity and globalisation through colourful imagery.
