Tibor Kalman (1949 – 1999)

Tibor Kalman (1949 – 1999), founder of M&Co. began his legendary relationship with time in 1983. Bodoni watch features the classic Bodoni typeface designed by Giambattista Bodoni (1740 - 1813) in the late 18^th- early 19^th century, Italy. Bodoni's typeface is characterized by easily recognizable Romantic typeface, vertical stress, slight serif bracketing, a vertical tail of Q, and a small upper bowl of g to name a few. Clearly a classic of its day, and even today, the Bodini has clean lines that carefully teeter from light to dark and back. Bodoni is timeless.
 In the spirit of the motto imprinted on the backside of the watches – “Waste Not a Moment”-reflect witty graphics merging with serious engineering in this hand-crafted timepiece.
Each watch is made of black electroplated aluminum ensuring a finish that stays looking new and comes with a genuine topstitched black leather band lined with a taupe glove leather finish and a matching black buckle.

Tibor Kalman founded the legendary, multidisciplinary design firm M&Co in 1979. In collaboration with his wife Maira, the conceptually progressive firm initially created graphics, magazines and film titles, and books. Following the release of a record album cover for the rock band Talking Heads, M&Co gained major attention for “pushing the envelope” on conventions of design and typography, and went on to become a major influence on emerging designers.

M&Co products address contemporary attitudes, challenging the conventions of design and typography. The 10-One-4 watch is the very first watch to be selected for the permanent design collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
