Founder of Arsham Studios, Daniel Arsham, worked with Japanese watchmaker Anicorn on a limited-edition minimalist timepiece that boasts an unbelievably design-friendly mechanism. The tokens of the style are individually numbered from one to 100 and have a timeless silhouette, made with 316L stainless steel, that translates itself to any outfit and occasion.
The minimalist timepiece has a curious design quality that makes it stand out from traditional watches. Daniel Arsham and Anicorn made it so that their product aligns at 11 AM and 11 PM to perfectly spell out "ARSHAM STUDIO STANDARD WATCH."
The minimalist timepiece comes in a luxe package and includes a leather strap, an hourglass, handling gloves, a screwdriver and a stainless steel button.
