The watch: Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch
In this episode of Time & Taste, I’m going to do something different. I’m going to give you a taste of the good life. Recently, I was in Chicago and got the opportunity to visit my friend Prashanth and he gave me a tour of one of his properties he has on the market located at 2902 N Seeley Ave, Chicago, IL 60618.
Prashanth Mahakali is the founder of PMPC Architects, the premier architecture design and development firm in Chicago. With over two decades of experience and a master’s degree in architecture from the University of Illinois at Chicago, Prashanth brings both expertise and passion to every project. Deeply inspired by Chicago’s architectural heritage, he blends classic influences with contemporary design to create spaces that resonate with purpose and beauty. His client-first philosophy, listening intently, understanding vision, and translating it into functional yet elegant design, has earned him a reputation for delivering homes that are as livable as they are striking. His commitment to excellence and sustainability continues to shape PMPC’s work across the city. Much like the Moonwatch, which represents a fusion of history, precision, and timeless relevance, Prashanth’s architectural vision balances innovation with respect for legacy, resulting in creations that feel both iconic and enduring.

In Chicago, where architectural ambition rises as high as the skyline itself, luxury is not merely measured in square footage but in the intentionality of design. PMPC Architecture, a firm known for reshaping modern living with vision and precision, has brought this ethos to life in a remarkable residence on Seeley Avenue in Roscoe Village. Here, a home is not only a place to live but a statement of refinement. To accompany such a creation, one must turn to another icon of enduring craftsmanship: the Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch.
The Seeley Avenue property unfolds with an elegant flow, each room curated to balance openness and intimacy. Expansive living areas invite both vibrant gatherings and quiet reflection, while a state-of-the-art kitchen blends sculptural design with functionality, transforming the act of cooking into an art form. Upstairs, the primary suite offers sanctuary, defined by clean lines and restorative light. Crowning it all, a rooftop deck opens to the Chicago skyline, framing the city in a panorama that feels both grand and deeply personal.
The kitchen stands as the heart of the residence, where elegance and precision intersect. With its expansive island, refined cabinetry, and professional-grade appliances, every detail has been considered for both form and function. The interplay of marble, clean lines, and warm metallic accents reflects a pursuit of perfection that is both inviting and exacting. In many ways, it parallels the Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch’s meticulous craftsmanship. Just as each component of the chronograph is engineered with unwavering precision to serve both beauty and utility, this kitchen elevates daily rituals into experiences of artistry. Both are designed not only to perform flawlessly but to inspire admiration for generations.
The master bedroom is designed as a retreat, where tranquility and elegance converge. The vaulted ceiling and generous windows flood the room with natural light, creating an atmosphere of peace and renewal. Its understated design ensures that comfort and sophistication take center stage, offering a sanctuary from the pace of city life. This timeless approach mirrors the Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch’s enduring appeal. Just as the Moonwatch offers continuity and reassurance with every glance at the dial, the bedroom anchors life in balance and serenity.
The master bathroom extends this sense of retreat into a spa-inspired sanctuary. Marble finishes, a luxurious soaking tub, and an expansive walk-in shower transform daily routines into rituals of indulgence. Every element has been carefully curated to exude both modern elegance and restorative calm. In much the same way, the Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch elevates the function of timekeeping into something extraordinary, blending practicality with a timeless aesthetic. Both spaces and timepieces remind us that true luxury lies in the harmony of utility and beauty.
The living room of the residence is a study in balance. With its airy openness, natural light streaming through expansive windows, and a central fireplace anchoring the space, it achieves harmony between comfort and sophistication. It is both welcoming and refined, capable of hosting lively evenings with friends or quiet moments of reflection. This equilibrium mirrors the design philosophy of the Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch. Just as the watch balances its functional chronograph layout with timeless aesthetic appeal, the living room exemplifies how thoughtful design can elevate everyday living. Both are icons of precision where form and function coexist in perfect measure.
This home is a natural extension of PMPC’s philosophy: spaces should be more than visually striking, they should resonate with the lives lived within them. Attention to detail, harmony of form and function, and the pursuit of timeless elegance define the firm’s work. In this way, PMPC mirrors the very qualities that have made the Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch a legend.
The Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch, after all, is not simply a chronograph. It is history on the wrist, the first watch worn on the moon and a tool trusted by NASA’s astronauts. Its design has endured for generations, a balance of precision engineering and iconic aesthetic. Like PMPC’s architecture, it transcends trends, grounding itself in values of longevity, integrity, and excellence.
Pairing the Seeley Avenue residence with the Omega Speedmaster is more than a nod to luxury; it is an invitation to embrace a way of life. Both stand as testaments to human achievement—one rooted in architectural mastery, the other in horological history. Together, they form a vision of living where every moment, and every space, is imbued with purpose and beauty.
