FROM AVIATION TO REINVENTION
Brazil’s first astro designer. Erich Shibata’s vision was shaped by the millimetric precision of executive aviation.
During 15 years at Embraer, one of the world’s leading aircraft manufacturers, he worked on more than 800 jet projects. A career shaped by the intersection of aerodynamic precision and comfort.
After mastering aircraft design, he took on the challenge of leading the visual transformation of one of Brazil’s largest pharmaceutical companies. His ability to turn perceptions and abstract concepts into a clear value proposition becamethe foundation for the company’s remarkable transformation.
A STRUCTURAL VISION
Design is not merely aesthetic. It is structural. As a watch enthusiast, Shibata was one of the first to understand Acto's vision. The recognition was no coincidence. It came from the perspective of someone who understands design.
The same uncompromising standards once applied to the interior of an executive jet became the foundation of a creative partnership. And once again, Erich defied expectations.
He embodies the pursuit of what is yours.
ACTO x ERICH SHIBATA
Aeronautical design translated into watchmaking through two limited series.
The A003B sold out all 300 pieces in less than 20 days.
The A003C pushed the concept further with the introduction of a carbon case and Super-LumiNova® across the entire surface of the dial.
