Introduction

A distinctive watch brand known for its innovative design and high-quality craftsmanship, Ikepod was founded in the late 1990s by renowned watchmaker Oliver Ike and artist Marc Newson. After quickly gaining recognition for its bold and unconventional aesthetics, the brand’s timepieces became increasingly collectable thanks to their focus on limited editions and minimalist yet striking designs, often characterized by their unique shapes and vibrant colors. Offered here we have the Ikepod Horizon ref. HHP30. Launched in the mid-2000s and designed byy Marc Newson, the Horizon features a hulking 46mm platinum case in Ikepod’s signature UFO-shaped domed case design, with a white gold dial that features a plethora of divots across its surface, like the exterior of a golf ball. With a brushed texture across it domed platinum case and a black rubber strap, the HHP30 is admittedly under the radar for such an exclusive piece. Limited and numbered to just 10 pieces, the HHP30 showcases the design language and style that made Ikepod as popular as it remains today, with its caseback featuring a small window into its automatic movement to highlight the watchmaking that Ikepod serves to shine a light on.

THE DIAL
THE DIAL

Made of 18kt white gold, the HHP30's dial breaks up the visual consistency of its platinum case with its divot-filled surface.

THE CONSTRUCTION
THE CONSTRUCTION

Made of platinum, the HHP30's hulking 46mm domed UFO-shaped case is as heavy on the wrist as it is distinctively 'Ikepod' in its design and execution.

Our Perspective

An unusual brand that has emerged with a strong following that has grown to love the watchmaker's unusual limited production run designs, Ikepod has become a cult classic within the world of indie watchmakers unlike anything we have ever seen before.
