Daniel Arsham Designs A New Work Of Art For Hublot: The Arsham Droplet

Daniel Arsham has once again designed a work of art like no other: the Arsham Droplet. In collaboration with Hublot, which couldn’t be more fitting as the brand stands as the industry’s leader in material innovation, Arsham has created the first-ever sapphire crystal pocket watch. The Arsham Droplet is a revolutionary timepiece that reimagines the classic pocket watch by blending antique form with futuristic materials and production methods, worn in three different variations: as a pocket watch, a pendant, or an eye-catching table clock.

“The Arsham Droplet is a true testament to the power of collaboration. By combining Hublot’s technical expertise with my own artistic vision, we have created a timepiece that transcends the traditional pocket watch, blending the past, present, and future in a captivating and unexpected way,” notes Arsham.

Arsham, celebrated for transforming everyday objects into “future relics,” brings his unique artistic vision to this collaboration. The Arsham Droplet seamlessly merges Hublot’s technical mastery with Arsham’s distinct style, creating a timepiece that challenges traditional watchmaking boundaries. Inspired by the organic, fluid forms found in nature, this collaboration represents a milestone in horology.

Crafted from titanium, rubber, and sapphire crystal, the Arsham Droplet showcases Hublot’s unparalleled attention to detail and commitment to innovation. Measuring 73.2mm x 52.6mm x 22.5mm, its ergonomic design fits perfectly in the hand, offering an immersive horological experience. At its heart lies Hublot’s Meca-10 manufacture movement, boasting a 10-day power reserve, enhancing the user’s connection with this unique creation.

Limited to just 99 pieces, the Arsham Droplet is a true collector’s item. Its distinctive rounded drop shape and intricate design challenge conventional notions of pocket watches. The titanium case and rubber bumpers reflect a bold departure from traditional watchmaking, complemented by two titanium chains for versatile wear and a decorative stand for display. The open-worked titanium case resembles delicate lace, with custom Arsham Green rubber bumpers and the artist’s monogram.

The Arsham Droplet’s double sealing system and 30-meter water resistance ensure durability. With exceptional craftsmanship and innovative design, this limited-edition masterpiece is destined to become a cherished collector’s item. For more information, visit Hublot and Daniel Arsham.
