MAURICE DE MAURIAC x CARLTON DEWOODY
Designed by Carlton DeWoody, a Los Angeles-based creative best known for interior design, the Rallymaster III also draws inspiration from uniquely graphic watch dials of the 60s & 70s. Maurice de Mauriac and Racquet connected with DeWoody because his passion for tennis and deep knowledge of vintage timepieces made him the ideal collaborator for a capsule collection. “I aimed to bridge past and present, reinterpreting classic design with a contemporary lens”, DeWoody explains. “I have an affinity for vintage chronographs, often seeking out references with unusual patterns, typefaces and other graphic details. The colorful sub-dials and patterning of yachting and racing dials were the perfect inspiration for the partnership”.
