About Artika Horizon I-washi lesihlakala
I-Artika Horizon iyiwashi lesihlakala futhi elingaphathwa ephaketheni noma ligqokwe entanyeni. Intambo esebhandini ithatha indawo yezingxenye zebhande ezijwayelekile, into enika iwashi ukwakhiwa okulula nokuthembekile. Ibhande livalwa ngeklipha elikhethekile, futhi iklipha liguqula iwashi libe yipendanti elingalengiswa entanyeni noma libophezelwe ezingutsheni. Ubhokisi lwenziwe ngensimbi futhi lulinganisa u-43 mm ububanzi kanye no-9 mm ukujula. Ukukhiqizwa kuhlelwe ngokusebenzisa i-additive manufacturing noma i-CNC milling. Isakhiwo saphefumulelwa yimbobo emnyama (black hole) kanye ne-event horizon yayo, futhi intambo ifanekisela isikhala esigobayo lapho sizungeza isikhathi.
About the Umklomelo Wesiliva we-A' Design Award
Artika Horizon I-washi lesihlakala iwinile uMklomelo Wesiliva we-A' Design Award, ukwaziswa okuhloniphekile ngokungajwayelekile okunikezwa imiklamo esezingeni eliphezulu, ebukekayo nethinta kakhulu. Abawinile beSiliva yimisebenzi egqamile kakhulu nedala kakhulu ebonisa ubungcweti obuphawulekayo, italente nobuhlakani babaklami babo.

Lo mklamo owinile uMklomelo Wesiliva we-A' Design Award uyinto entsha ebonakala kakhulu nethakazelisayo esiza futhi isunduza imingcele yobuciko, isayensi, ukuklama nobuchwepheshe. Artika Horizon I-washi lesihlakala iyinto enomhawu omkhulu kuyo evusa izifiso, ilethe imizwa emihle futhi ivuse ukumangala nokuxakeka.
Press Kit
- 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.
