“This Is Our Time”: A Limited Edition Megapod Watch Merges Art And Innovation
The Megapod is making a bold comeback with a new limited edition watch, “This Is Our Time,” born from the collaboration between Ikepod, Ace Jewelers, street artist Laser 3.14, and design studio ABC. This timepiece, inspired by the UFO-style watches of the 1990s, combines contemporary art with watchmaking precision to create a unique collector’s item.
Featuring a robust 46mm round stainless steel case, this watch stands out with its round edges, brushed finish, and signature no-lugs design, giving it a streamlined and futuristic appearance. The case is complemented by a black silicone strap, making it both stylish and comfortable. A recessed crown at 3 o’clock and a screw-down solid case back further enhance its sleek profile, while the sapphire crystal ensures durability and scratch resistance.
The matte black dial is where the watch truly comes alive. Adorned with red graffiti-style inscriptions, it showcases the artistic collaboration with Laser 3.14, whose iconic tag is printed on the inside of the sapphire crystal, adding an additional layer of street art to the design. The phrase “This Is Our Time” is prominently displayed at 6 o’clock, reinforcing the watch’s theme of seizing the moment. Despite the bold design, the watch maintains a minimalist aesthetic with just two white hands that contrast sharply against the dark dial, and a black central seconds hand that harmonizes with the domed chapter ring. The embossed Arabic numerals on the chapter ring are subtly integrated, almost blending into the background.
Powering this exceptional timepiece is the reliable Japanese Miyota 9039 automatic movement, known for its precision and robustness. It operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour (Vph) and offers a power reserve of up to 42 hours, ensuring the watch keeps perfect time. The Megapod is water-resistant up to 50 meters, making it suitable for everyday wear while retaining its distinctive style.
Limited to just 30 individually numbered units, the “This Is Our Time” Megapod is available exclusively at Ace Jewelers and Ikepod for €1,400. This exclusive release is set to appeal to watch enthusiasts and art lovers alike, offering a wearable piece of contemporary art that stands out in a crowd. Combining Ikepod’s innovative design heritage with the edgy street art of Laser 3.14, this watch is a statement piece for those who dare to be different.
