The Witherspoon watch is named in honor of the Paul Robeson Center for the Arts in Princeton, New Jersey. Building designer Michael Graves describes it as a "landmark project for Princeton which will make an enormous contribution to the cultural life of our community."

Witherspoon is also the namesake of his latest color combination timepiece for Projects. Like his building, the Witherspoon watch evokes the rich tones of the building's historic stone and bricks as well as its bold vistas of the town's center.

The Witherspoon Watch is filled with subtle detail; from the matching color on the crown, to the matching color stitching on the black leather band. There is no misreading the time here. The Witherspoon Watch has large numbers with raised indexes.
