About the Artist: Edward Carvalho-Monaghan

Edward describes the Odyssey watch design:

“There’s never enough time in the day to worry about keeping track of hours, months and years are the appropriate planning horizon.

With that in mind, the design prioritises the date giving space to the longer arcs of time while letting the rest melt into the surreal textures of the design.”

Edward Carvalho-Monaghan graduated from Central St Martins School of Art & Design in 2014. Since graduating he has worked for a diverse range of clients, from fashion brand Hermès, to newspapers The Guardian and The New York Times. 

Edward is a master of reductive storytelling: creating complex narratives with a few simple lines that make an increasing amount of sense the more you stare at them.

While he readily cites psychedelic music and the work of avant-garde filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky as strong influences, it’s his desire to create work that doesn’t draw on visual references or pander to stylistic trends, that makes him such an exciting talent.
