Its modern skyscrapers gleam like beacons of progress rising out of the urban landscape. They also epitomize San Francisco's central role in the technological revolution and city’s proximity to Silicon Valley.
The iconic Golden Gate Bridge spanning San Francisco Bay reflects the architectural and technical daring of this unique American metropolis.
San Francisco, a city where human genius and digital progress come together in perfect harmony, is the perfect expression of the symbiosis between historical heritage and modernity.
“While observing the classic architectural design of famous American districts, I had a sudden flash: These urban landscapes often have the patchwork regularity of electronic circuit boards. What better way to suggest San Francisco’s proximity to Silicon Valley.”

The backstory
The hand-painted Golden Gate Bridge on a high-tech backdrop
Technological innovation, a pillar of San Francisco's identity, inspired the dial’s unique design.
Its base is a silicon wafer etched with microelectronic circuits, the very symbol of Silicon Valley, but it also reflects the architectural elegance of San Francisco’s urban design. The harmonious, elegant symmetry of the Golden Gate Bridge stands out vividly against this high-tech pattern. The bridge is carefully sculpted and hand-painted in that famous and recognisable “International Orange” and has been skilfully positioned in relief on the dial.
Thanks to the exceptional visual perspective, this iconic monument comes to life, giving the illusion of being very close to the viewer.
