Luxury Swiss watchmaker Hublot has teamed up with acclaimed contemporary artist Daniel Arsham to unveil an interesting pocket watch – the Arsham Droplet. It’s a re-imagining of the classic pocket watch – a blend of antique form with futuristic materials and production methods. Arsham describes the process as transforming everyday objects into “future relics”, a fusion of past, present and future.
The watch is 73.2 mm in length, 52.6 mm in width, 22.5 mm in thickness, a blend of titanium, rubber and sapphire crystal. At the heart of the watch lies Hublot’s iconic Meca-10 manufacture movement, which has a 10-day power reserve that ensures the timepiece can be enjoyed for extended periods without the need for frequent winding. Limited to 99 pieces. Suggested retail price: $110,000 CAD.
