I am a huge Architecture buff and absolutely love the works of Frank Lloyd Wright! This is such an awesome interpretation of the famous Ennis House "brick" detail. First of all, the square shape really emphasizes the "labyrinth" pattern on the Ennis House bricks. The multilevel "medallion" dial with the pattern is dimensional because of the layered effect of the dial itself, the hands, markers, the Bulova and the FLW logos. The sandblasted finish of the dial, as well as its taupe "sandy" color, really resemble the famous bricks that were used to build and decorate Ennis House. The soft leather strap also has a distressed effect and the brick pattern is embossed on the lining. All in All - so many artistic elements are captured in this watch - it's true "Art" for your wrist!

This watch is gorgeous. I bought it for my boyfriend who is into architecture and is a big Frank Lloyd Wright fan and he loves the incredible detail on the dial and the subtle three dimensionality. It looks incredibly elegant on his wrist….. and on mine too (I couldn’t help myself)! The neutral colors of the face and strap go great with his wardrobe, he wears a lot of tan, navy, grey, and black.
Watch design & case does a great job of reflecting the design of the Ennis House in Southern California. Watch hands provide good contrast but don’t match the quality of the balance of the watch. Watch crystal is made of a very high quality sapphire. Embossed pattern appearing only on the inside of the leather strap indicates this is more of a personal treasure than a showpiece.
I really like the color scheme and the dial of this watch. The leather band is a great combination of worn in, almost vintage like, but soft and comfortable. I would buy the leather band by itself it’s that good. The case can be big for smaller wrists.
