EXPRESSWAY TO THE FUTURE
Shinji Tsuchimochi's EXPRESSWAY TO THE FUTURE, bridges present and future through a futuristic, dreamlike vision of Tokyo's neon lights and luminous trails of moving vehicles. This watch is the artist's matching creation to BRIDGE TO THE PAST.
This special watch is part of the Swatch Destination Art series which celebrates locations around the world through collaborations with local and influential artists.
The artist behind the design
Shinji Tsuchimochi, a Tokyo-born illustrator, blends traditional ukiyo-e with manga and anime to create contemporary works. Inspired by Van Gogh and Hiroshige, his art captures cities and daily life as a visual diary of his experiences and Japanese identity.
"Tokyo is a city woven together by an endless network of highways, where people, ideas, and energy flow continuously without pause. When I imagined the future of this ever-moving metropolis, a vision came to mind: a taxi leaving the expressway behind and soaring toward the moon."
