About
Android watches
Founded in 1991, Android came to fruition
through Wing Liangs’ fascination and dedication to create a
futuristic timepiece that could combine the traditional values
of watch making with modern day living. ‘It’s like giving a well
known vintage wine a new label’. Android first began by
importing watches and later realized that there was something
absent from modern watch designs, a void that
needed to be filled.
The ‘stepping stones’ to Wing’s experience in watch design began
primarily with producing a private collection for a clothing
company back in the 90’s. The collection was a phenomenal
success and from this point his popularity grew and has
continued to advance. “It was at this point I decided to
create my own specialized timepiece. I realized that I wanted to
improve the functions of a watch and stylize it to fit in with
modern day living”. To create his up-to-the-minute designs, Wing
traveled worldwide to select the finest materials to make his
dream come to fruition. Blending materials from Asia and Europe
to create the right energy and feel to his designs. Wing makes
watches that entice, tease and will amuse you (such as the
catapult watch).
‘When I design a watch I am inspired by everything around me,
from a sci-fi movie to music, from a car to a toaster. I make a
mental picture of the watch in my head and convert my
visualization onto paper. It’s exciting to create new designs
and watching them come to life is exhilarating.’
‘The watch designs themselves reveal my lifestyle and traits,
simple yet contemporary. The most difficult task is to create a
simplistic design that differs from other brands. I believe that
less can be more and I’m passionate about my work and believe
that this is reflected in the timepieces that I create. Android
watches are unique in the sense that you can single out the
brand from any other watch. The shape of the case, the colour of
the dial and the watch bands serve to make each timepiece
distinguishing.
Designing a
watch is an intricate task that requires serious dedication. I
will continue to create watches that are functional and stylish.
Android watches have a personality of their own. Wing offers a
wide variety of styles that meet every consumers needs. Android:
Building into the future by respecting our past.
