Ikepod watches were some of the hottest watches of their period and continue to have a profound impact on the world as the Marc Newson-designed strap was borrowed by Apple for the Apple Watch. Futuristic in its approach, a number of collectors believe these watches are design classics, currently enjoying a revival. This is the classic Hemipode model with the date indicated in a register at 3 o’clock.
