Founded in 1991
, Android came to fruition through Wing Liangs’ fascination and
dedication to create a futuristic timepiece that could combine the traditional values of
watch making with modern day living. ‘It’s like giving a well known vintage wine a new
label’. Android first began by importing watches and later realized that there was
something absent from modern day watch designs, a void in the market that needed to be filled.
The ‘stepping stones’ to Wing’s experience in watch design began primarily with producing a private
collection for a clothing company back in the 90’s. The collection was a phenomenal success and
from this point his popularity grew and has continued to advance. Having his watches featured in
the media illustrates that there seems no end in sight to this dedicated watch designers success story.
“It was at this point I decided to create my own specialized timepiece. I realized that I wanted to
improve the functions of a watch and stylize it to fit in with modern day living”. To create his up-to-
the-minute designs, Wing traveled worldwide to select the finest materials to make his dream come
to fruition. Blending materials from Asia and Europe to create the right energy and feel to his designs.
Wing makes watches that entice, tease and will amuse you (such as the Alien and Catapult watch).
‘When I design a watch I am inspired by everything around me, from a sci-fi movie to music,
from a car to a toaster. I make a mental picture of the watch in my head and convert my
visualization onto paper. It’s exciting to create new designs and watching them come to life
is exhilarating.’
‘The watch designs themselves reveal my lifestyle and traits, simple yet contemporary. The most
difficult task is to create a simplistic design that differs from other brands. I believe that less can
be more and I’m passionate about my work and believe that this is reflected in the timepieces
that I create.’
Android watches are unique in the sense that you can single out the brand from any other
watch. The shape of the case, the colour of the dial and the watch bands serve to make each
timepiece distinguishing.
‘Designing a watch is an intricate task that requires serious dedication. I will continue to create
watches that are functional and stylish.’ Android watches have a personality of their own. Wing
offers a wide variety of styles that meet every consumers needs.
