Mauron Musy and Arturo Tedeschi collaborate on watch design
Mauron Musy and Arturo Tedeschi collaborate on MU05-106 ARCHITECT, integrating computational design with watchmaking engineering. This timepiece reinterprets traditional skeleton watch structures through algorithmic generation, moving beyond conventional symmetries to create an organic, asymmetrical composition.
The watch’s design process is guided by parametric and computational methodologies, generating forms that evolve beyond manually sketched concepts. The skeletonized dial consists of three superimposed layers, each shaped through algorithmic calculations and refined through precise machining. The interplay of angles and facets enhances depth and contrast by capturing and reflecting light dynamically.

MU05-106 ARCHITECT features an asymmetrical skeletonized dial
Encased in a 44mm housing, the MU05-106 ARCHITECT, designed by watch engineers at Mauron Musy and architect Arturo Tedeschi, features the skeletonized MM01-SK movement, framed by a dial with multiple finishes. Polished, satin-finished, beveled, sunray-brushed, and grained surfaces contribute to a varied interplay of textures. Engraved ‘AT’ and ‘µµ’ logos and the ‘Swiss Crafted’ inscription discreetly appear on the dial. Movement integrates functional markings within the overall aesthetic composition.
Mauron Musy’s nO-Ring® technology ensures total water resistance without traditional gaskets, maintaining the brand’s focus on precision engineering. The MU05-106 ARCHITECT represents an intersection of algorithmic design and Swiss watchmaking, demonstrating an approach where computational processes contribute to both visual complexity and mechanical functionality.
