{"product_id":"ikepod-duopod-dots-004-as12737","title":"Ikepod Duopod Dots 004","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFew contemporary watches are as immediately recognizable as an Ikepod. The smooth, lugless case originally conceived by Marc Newson in the 1990s helped turn the watch into an object of industrial design, and the modern Duopod carries that radical simplicity forward. It is round, slightly strange, and unmistakably Ikepod.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Duopod Dots 004 is one of the more graphic interpretations of the formula. Its convex black dial is covered in concentric fields of raised dots that grow larger toward the center, creating an almost three-dimensional optical effect. Tiny orange hour markers punctuate the otherwise monochromatic surface, while white minute hashes circle the perimeter. Against all that texture, the two black-and-white hands are almost comically simple. There isn’t even a running seconds hand to disturb the composition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe brushed 316L stainless-steel case measures 42mm, but without conventional lugs it wears considerably smaller, closer to a traditional 39mm watch. A curved sapphire crystal exaggerates the rounded, pebble-like profile, while the integrated black silicone strap continues directly from the case. Inside is a reliable Japanese Miyota quartz movement, an appropriately fuss-free engine for a watch in which the design is very much the main event.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis example is accompanied by its original recycled Ikepod packaging and papers. The Duopod may be the more accessible descendant of those cult Newson-era Ikepods, but that’s precisely its charm. It takes one of the most distinctive watch designs of the past three decades, removes the preciousness, and leaves behind something playful, wearable, and wonderfully weird.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ikepod","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44181188247639,"sku":"40993497","price":850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/1255\/files\/AS12737_40993497_IKEPOD_DUOPOD_D004-SI-LB--6.jpg?v=1787923675","url":"https:\/\/www.analogshift.com\/products\/ikepod-duopod-dots-004-as12737","provider":"Analog:Shift","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
