• Limited to 300 pieces, priced at $980 USD and features an exhibition caseback with a guiding star

Anicorn has teamed up with Oliver Jeffers, a widely celebrated picture book artist and author, for a TIME AND SPACE watch collaboration. Conceived as a wearable artwork, the timepiece reflects Jeffers’ fascination with humanity’s place in the cosmos, using symbolic motifs to explore memory, invention and time itself.

The dial is distinguished by four hand‑painted symbolic indices, spanning a book, a matchstick, a car and a hot air balloon — each representing human invention and imagination. These miniature artworks are created through a process that requires more than two hours and 12 steps per symbol, underscoring the artisanal detail behind the project. The result is a watch that feels whimsically poetic and personal, echoing Jeffers’ signature style.

Complementing the intricate dial is a beautifully considered exhibition caseback that continues the thematic journey. Finished with a carved eight-pointed star – a traditional guiding symbol used in ancient maps – the rear of the watch quietly anchors the cosmic theme directly against the wearer’s wrist. Designed for watch collectors and fans of Jeffers’s work alike, this mechanical timepiece is strictly limited to a global production run of just 300 units, priced at $980 USD and available exclusively through Anicorn’s official website.
