Nik Bentel Studio and The Trio of Time by Anicorn Unveil 2-in-1 briefcase and watch.
Inspired by the post-World War II era and customizable with different city plaques.
Nik Bentel Studio and The Trio of Time(TTT) by Anicorn have joined forces to unveil The Time Traveler Watch. This creative accessory is part of a unique set that merges a watch with a 2-in-1 briefcase. Designed to celebrate the world’s most vibrant cities, the case allows wearers to select their city of choice and attach it to the exterior of the bag.
Drawing inspiration from the classic time zone wall clocks that became essential in the post-World War II era, The Time Traveler Watch pays homage to a time when global travel and trade began to flourish. These clocks, known for their straightforward design and easy readability, helped create a universal understanding of time, facilitating timely international business and trade. The Time Traveler Watch adopts this iconic black-and-white aesthetic and simple design, presenting itself as a piece of history brought into the modern era.
From a conceptual standpoint, by combining the briefcase, an emblem of the professional world, with the watch, the creators invite us to reconsider our perception of time as a global concept. It’s an invitation to put aside digital distractions and immerse ourselves in the global network of time zones. However, the creators jokingly caution users about the dangers of getting lost in time.
As for technicals, the watch features a Japanese Miyota 2035 quartz movement, mineral glass, a 316L stainless steel case and a genuine leather strap with a stainless steel buckle. The watch will be available for purchase via The Trio of Time’s official site starting February 21, with retail set at $349 USD.
