From art to cars and everything in between, Daniel Arsham stands out as a jack of all trades.
Renowned for its innovative spirit as a pioneer in the luxury watch sector, Hublot has just unveiled its newest collaboration with world-renowned contemporary artist Daniel Arsham. The Arsham Droplet is a groundbreaking timepiece that redefines the classic pocket watch by blending traditional shapes with futuristic materials and production methods. This artistic partnership has delivered a piece of art that can be enjoyed in three different ways: a pocket watch, a pendant, or an eye-catching table clock. Hublot and Daniel Arsham, famous for transforming everyday objects into “future relics,” have created a captivating fusion of past, present, and future with the Arsham Droplet. Inspired by organic, fluid forms found in nature, the Arsham Droplet represents a true milestone in the world of haute horology.
Crafted from titanium, rubber, and sapphire crystal, the Arsham Droplet showcases Hublot’s exceptional attention to detail and commitment. Measuring 73.2mm in length, 52.6mm in width, and 22.5mm in thickness, the ergonomic design fits perfectly in the hand. At the heart of the watch lies Hublot’s iconic Meca-10 manufacture movement, showcasing an impressive 10-day power reserve. Limited to just 99 pieces, the Arsham Droplet is a true collector’s item. Its distinctive rounded drop shape and complexity challenge the traditional concepts of what a pocket watch can be. Featuring a sandwich construction with domed teardrop-shaped crystals, the open-worked titanium case resembles delicate lace woven in a droplet pattern. With its double sealing system and 30 meters of water resistance, the Arsham Droplet guarantees durability and reliability in any setting. The all-new Arsham Droplet by Hublot is now available at authorized boutiques around the world for $88,000.
