About Artika Horizon Orologio da polso
Artika Horizon è un orologio da polso che può anche essere portato in tasca o al collo. Un cordino sul cinturino sostituisce i componenti tradizionali del cinturino, conferendo all'orologio una costruzione semplice e affidabile. Il cinturino si chiude con una clip speciale, che trasforma l'orologio in un pendente da appendere al collo o da fissare agli abiti. La cassa è realizzata in metallo e misura 43 mm di diametro e 9 mm di spessore. La produzione è prevista mediante manifattura additiva o fresatura CNC. La forma si ispira a un buco nero e al suo orizzonte degli eventi, mentre il cordino simboleggia lo spazio che si curva attorno al tempo.

- Production Technology
- The dimensions of a real quartz movement were used in the development of this project. Body material - metal, assumed production technologies - additive manufacturing or CNC milling. This is justified by the small circulation and the complexity of the design.
- Design Challenge
- The most difficult thing in this project is the symbiosis of two global tasks, namely: the need to match the brand and integrate another global theme. Such conditions create many restrictions that can alienate a large segment of consumers. To make a product with a complex meaning, which would be interesting, including for an ordinary inexperienced user, it is necessary to offer him new, original functions. In this case, it is an opportunity to wear this watch not only as a wrist accessory
- Research
- The project started as part of a master's project and is part of a collaboration with the Barcelona-based design studio Anima. The task was to develop the concept of a wrist watch for the Artika brand. The main task of the project was to develop a watch that reflects the philosophy of Artik. Also, the idea of the project is the theme of space and time and an attempt to reflect them in the form of a wristwatch. Attempting to integrate the mataphor into both form and function is the basic idea.
- Inspiration
- The Horizon watch is the final version of this project. This watches reflect the main ideas of the first iterations, which were inspired by the Black Hole and its event horizon, how space can bend under the influence of large forces. So in this watch - the cord symbolizes a space that bends around time beyond its control
- Project Duration
- The project started in September 2019 in St. Petersburg and ended in January 2020 in Saint-Petersburg
- Operation Flow
- The watch is put on the hand and pulled together with a special clip. This clip turns the watch into a pendant accessory that can be hung around the neck or tied to clothes. The crown is a separate piece due to its design. The crown is inserted into a special hole, after which the watch can be wound.
