About Artika Horizon የእጅ ሰዓት

አርቲካ ሆራይዘን በኪስ ውስጥ ሊያዝ ወይም በአንገት ላይ ሊደረግ የሚችል የእጅ ሰዓት ነው። በማሰሪያው ላይ ያለ ገመድ የተለመዱ የማሰሪያ ክፍሎችን ይተካል፣ ይህም ለሰዓቱ ቀላል እና አስተማማኝ አወቃቀር ይሰጣል። ማሰሪያው በልዩ ክሊፕ ይዘጋል፣ እና ክሊፑ ሰዓቱን በአንገት ላይ ሊሰቀል ወይም በልብስ ላይ ሊታሰር ወደሚችል ሐብል ይለውጠዋል። ኬዙ ከብረት የተሠራ ሲሆን ዲያሜትሩ 43 ሚሜ እና ጥልቀቱ 9 ሚሜ ነው። ምርቱ በተጨማሪ ማምረቻ (additive manufacturing) ወይም በCNC ወፍጮ አማካኝነት እንዲከናወን ታቅዷል። ቅርጹ በጥቁር ጉድጓድ (black hole) እና በክስተት አድማሱ (event horizon) ተመስጦ የተሠራ ሲሆን፣ ገመዱም በጊዜ ዙሪያ የሚታጠፍ ኅዋን ይወክላል።

Unique Properties: A wrist watch with a cord on the strap. The watch can be worn on the wrist, or as a stopwatch in a pocket or around the neck. Unlike conventional straps, the construction of Horizon watches is simpler and more reliable, there is literally nothing to break.
Dimensions & Packaging: The watch diameter is 43 mm and the depth is 9 mm
Tags: Watch, Stopwatch, Time, Accessory, Gadget, Device.
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.
