Artika Horizon
Artika Horizon is a wristwatch that can also be carried in a pocket or worn around the neck. A cord on the strap replaces conventional strap parts, giving the watch a simple and reliable construction. The strap is closed with a special clip, and the clip turns the watch into a pendant that can be hung around the neck or tied to clothing. The case is made of metal and measures 43 mm in diameter and 9 mm in depth. Production is planned through additive manufacturing or CNC milling. The form was inspired by a black hole and its event horizon, and the cord symbolizes space bending around time.
