RARE Ikepod Hemipode 18K Rose Gold (#10/10)

Designed by Marc Newson, the Ikepod Hemipode is a modern icon. The Hemipode – named for the watches hemispheric shape - has a monocoque design, meaning it is essentially one piece. The super thin bezel is unscrewed with a special tool and the movement is accessed from above.

This specific example is very rare as it is 1 of 10 ever produced in rose gold - as a matter of fact, it is number 10 out of 10. The watch features Valjoux ETA 7750 movement, modified to accommodate Newson’s design features.   A small sapphire window in the caseback allows a glimpse into the movement. Newson's love of symmetry is seen in the four subdials with one denoting the date and another a 24 hour GMT hand. Newson's design did not stop with the watch itself, the Ikepod Hemipode comes on a specially designed rubber strap that attaches to the case with invisible screws.  The Hemipode is certainly an eye-catching watch and an excellent choice for anyone looking for a truly standout piece.
