“For this watch, I wanted to incorporate an element of Korean architectural art,” says Sung of the Dancheong tradition. “ These design elements and colors are very familiar to me. I grew up in Korea, and I would see this motif used in many ancient buildings.”

“I started reading about the history and ideology behind Dancheong from Korean historical sites,” says Sung. “As I read more about it in my native language, I learned more about my own culture.”

“Dancheong is composed of five colors and, from these, I chose black and gold for the watch,” explains Sung. “The motif I designed celebrates the flow of nature and time in humanity.”

A former member of the Society of Illustrators of Los Angeles, Hannah Sung is a Korean-American visual artist who straddles the line between commercial and fine art. In addition to the watch collaborations she’s worked on with Projects Watches and Mr. Jones, Sung has an impressive list of Hollywood clients, ranging from Disney to Dreamworks to Netflix.
