Spanish watch brand Lebond has released the Attraction collection, two titanium timepieces drawing inspiration from Antoni Gaudí’s unbuilt Hotel Attraction skyscraper. The watches commemorate the 100th anniversary of the architect’s passing and feature unique disc-based time displays. Available in Original and Dark editions, they are priced at €2,400 each excluding taxes.
Lebond, a Spanish brand known for architecture-themed watches, introduced its third collection, the Attraction, inspired by Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí. The design pays homage to Gaudí’s 1908 Hotel Attraction project, a planned 360-meter skyscraper in New York that would have been the world’s tallest at the time. Unlike the brand’s previous collaborations with architects Álvaro Siza and Eduardo Souto de Moura, this release channels Gaudí’s organic, futuristic vision through an overhead view of the unbuilt structure.
The Attraction comes in two 38mm Grade 5 titanium cases, measuring 10.4mm thick and 46mm lug-to-lug, with a matte-sanded finish and anti-fingerprint coating. Each weighs just 33 grams without the strap. The dial design, shared by both models, uses a base dial with a luminous railroad minute track, an hour disc with a trapezoidal marker, a luminous minute hand, and a rotating top disc indicating seconds. The Original Edition features silver tones with a light-brown nappa leather strap, while the Dark Edition uses anthracite with a black strap. Both include a titanium folding clasp.
Powered by the ETA 2892-A2 automatic movement, the watches operate at 28,800 vibrations per hour with 21 jewels and a 50-hour power reserve. The caliber, visible through a sapphire case back etched with the hotel’s design, features blued screws, Geneva stripes, and perlage. Founder Asier Mateo emphasized the project’s dedication, including a wooden display stand modeled after the hotel, standing 42cm tall and crafted from sapele wood for €1,600 extra.
Reviewers noted the watches’ lightweight comfort and intriguing time display, tying back to Gaudí’s innovative architecture. The collection is available on Lebond’s website.
