I’m from Paris bint1

Of course everything one says about design is subjective, thats what generates these passionate discussions.

I personally appreciate the work of Newson to that of Young for infinite reasons and deem it to be of greater value with regards to originality and influence.

When it comes to watches I believe that Newson has created forerunning iconic designs for Ikepod that all design literate people would acknowledge and respect.

In regards to Young’s watch shown here, I feel that it is (unconsciously or not) just too similar to the work and efforts of Newson for Ikepod.

This is not to say that Young doesn’t have talent, far from it , just that maybe this isn’t his best effort in designing a watch to commemorate the anniversary of Hong Kong’s return to Chinese rule

id say there are as many good designs on youngs website as there are on marc newsons , probably even better and more unique, bikes , doghouses , folded paper tables and new typologies , any way there are 1000 watches already with that catch details made out of rubber , i think your so very wrong !
