Describtion from the organizer “German Design Council”: 

Defakto Akkord Modular: German made automatic wristwatch with three-piece bronze watchcase

 

Category: Special Mention – Excellent Product Design – Luxury Goods

Manufacturer: Defakto Uhren

Design: Defakto Uhren, Raphael Ickler

 

Jury Statement: Prof. Stefan Diez | Nicolette Naumann | Silvia Olp
A characteristic design feature of the Defakto Accord Modular is its three-piece case made of burnished bronze, stainless steel and PVD. The strongly contrasted material mix, stringently and clearly scaled dial and partially skeletonised hands set a contemporary tone which is completed by a high quality handmade calfskin strap with a folding clasp. The starkly reduced design of this German-made watch aims to make the time appear as clearly as possible with just one glance. For this reason a second hand in permanent motion was deliberately left out.
