Anthony Coundouris conducted video interviews with artists across Asia between 2013-2015 to learn about their creative processes and techniques. He also enjoys reviewing men's watches and has reviewed his own collection as well as watches requested by YouTubers. In 2013, he purchased an apartment in Phuket, Thailand and customized the interior and customer experience, improving it based on customer reviews. In 2014, he designed and handcrafted a watch roll for his father as a birthday gift using various materials to impress his engineering-minded father.

2013-16

2. Asian artists, documentaries, 2013-
Between 2013-15 I interviewed artists and craftspeople across
Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Korea. The video
interviews were an opportunity to learn how artists create a vision
and the kinds of production techniques they use in their work.

4. Wrist watch reviews, 2013-
I enjoy reviewing the aesthetics behind men’s watches. I started
by reviewing my own collection. Later I began studying google
images and reviewing watches I didn’t own. Today YouTubers
send me requests to shoot reviews of watches they plan to buy.

6. Apartment, fit-out, Thailand, 2013
In 2013 I began an experiment to purposely build a customer
experience. For my experiment I bought an apartment in
Phuket Thailand. I hand carpentered furniture, purchased
appliances and put paint on walls and canvases.
I watched customers post reviews, and with each review I
improved the experience, eventually breaking down a customer
experience in three stages.

8. Watch roll, design and build, Hong
Kong, 2014
I wanted to make a birthday present for my father. My father is
an engineer and capable with his hands. In order to make an
impression, I needed to create a piece he himself could not
make – a piece he could marvel over. I settled on designing a
watch roll in canvas, leather and polished wax.

10. Soft toys, design and build,
Singapore, 2014
I designed a corporate mascot for Futurebooks. I first crafted
several two dimensional paper templates from cardboard. The
template was improved with each time a stuff toy prototype
made. Each unit was hand stitched from a composite of
materials and pieced together using blanket and ladder
stitching.

12. Honda sports bike, rebuild, UK, 2016
I and several technicians restored a Honda sports bike, with the
goal to get the bike track-worthy. We solved problems
pertaining to the front brakes, steering head, accelerator cable,
fuel overflow, and electricals.
In June 2016 the bike was ready to be track raced at Blyton
Park, UK.
