Ikepod Horizon


Ikepod relaunches with one of the most beautiful watches I've seen in a long while. Renowned Industrial Designer Marc Newson does it again creating simplicity out of complexity. The Horizon watch is GORGEOUS and this is coming from someone who thinks watches are an archaic piece of technology when we have time displays on phones. The unique circular hexagonal honeycomb creates an optical illusion making it appear convex, hence its namesake - the horizon. In reality, the face is completely flat. The illusion is created using a mathematical formula in the spacing and size of each honeycomb cell. Even the back is beautiful with its smooth metal surface and a tiny porthole so you can watch the inner magic that occurs inside all timepieces. I have no idea how much it costs but it comes in three different colors for both men and women.
