The Modern Pocket Watches: Hublot and Daniel Arsham Edition

2024-06-21 // LePodium.NET
A collaboration between Hublot and artist Daniel Arsham brings a new and unique version of pocket watches, incorporating traditional and futuristic elements.

Renowned artist Daniel Arsham, known for his work in sculpture, architecture, video art, and fashion, has collaborated with luxury watch brand Hublot to create a stunning new collection of pocket watches. Last year, as the brand's ambassador, Arsham designed solar-powered watches in Zermatt. Now, he has come up with another remarkable model - the Hublot Arsham Droplet.

Inspired by the droplet shape, this pocket watch combines the classic design of traditional pocket watches with futuristic materials and modern production techniques. The model can also be transformed into a table clock or a massive pendant, adding versatility to its functionality.

Made from titanium, rubber, and sapphire glass, the Arsham Droplet is not only visually appealing but also ergonomically designed. The 73.2 x 52.6 x 22.5mm case fits perfectly in the hand, providing a tactile and comfortable experience for the owner.

With only 99 pieces produced, this watch offers a unique and captivating interaction with modern horology. It is equipped with Hublot's iconic in-house movement, the Meca-10 caliber, which boasts an impressive 10-day power reserve.
