Alabaster Industries Updates Its Twisted Style With ‘Ecliptic Collection’
Just in time for the solar eclipse on April 8.
In the world of watches, sometimes it’s hard to stand out due to the group of celebrated legacy names and relatively consistent styles across the board. But Alabaster Industries has been making its mark due to its signature twisted timepiece style that features a web-like body. So to continue furthering its avant-garde aesthetic, the brand has revealed its new ‘Ecliptic Collection.’
Just in time for the solar eclipse on April 8, the new collection is inspired by the eclectic qualities of its Core, Dove and Sinew watches. For the new collection, the brand utilizes its Core and Dove silhouettes – expanding its bodies that lean into textural and geologic features. Additionally, the limited-edition collection features rhodolite garnet, peridot and citrine gemstones. They also include notes of Red granite, Verde san Denise marble and agate. Finishing off the watches’ stainless steel and sapphire crystal bodies are automatic Japanese mechanical movements.
“In this collection it was important to develop the feeling of connection between biology, industry, and artifact. Ancient archeological relics may appear crude to a modern viewer, but they are representative of a cutting edge long past,” said the brand. “In both the data plate stone dials and the faceted gem set models, there is a tension between rough and unpredictable textures of natural wear and decay and precision machined, marked and finished surfaces.”
Ranging in price from $2,700 and $3,800 Alabaster Industries’ new “Ecliptic Collection’ is available now online.
