Part of the reborn Ikepod collection, the Chronopod translates the brand’s cult 1990s design language into a more accessible chronograph, retaining that unmistakable pebble-shaped case while handing the dial-design duties to Emmanuel Gueit.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe C009 is one of the coolest, most industrial-looking versions. Its brushed silver-grey dial plays beautifully against the brushed steel case, while three contrasting white registers break up the monochromatic surface. The layout includes a chronograph minute counter, running seconds, and 24-hour indicator, joined by a circular date aperture tucked between 4 and 5 o’clock. Black baton markers and hands keep everything crisp and legible without sacrificing the slightly futuristic minimalism that makes an Ikepod an Ikepod.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe stainless-steel UFO case measures 44mm, but that figure tells only half the story. With no traditional lugs, the black silicone strap sits flush with the case, allowing it to wear more like a conventional 41mm watch. Inside is the dependable Japanese Miyota JS25 quartz chronograph movement, while 50 meters of water resistance adds some everyday practicality.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis example is accompanied by its original recycled Ikepod box and papers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA watch called Alive has aged rather well. Clean, slightly weird, and unmistakably design-driven, the C009 captures the moment Ikepod came back from the dead without losing the visual language that made collectors care about it in the first place. Take me to your leader! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ikepod","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44189777133655,"sku":"40993490","price":850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/1255\/files\/AS12730_40993490_IKEPOD_CHRONOPOD_C009-SI-LB-5.jpg?v=1788130395","url":"https:\/\/www.analogshift.com\/products\/ikepod-chronopod-alive-2018-as12730","provider":"Analog:Shift","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
