“The design, reduction, and palettes, which come together within my works, give my signature its distinctiveness.”
INSPIRED BY NATURE, FUELED BY INGENUITY
The starting point
COLD AS ICE
To find inspiration for the Droplet, Arsham enveloped himself in nature—in the stunning landscapes of Iceland to be exact. There he studied the ice, the crystals, the water and the effect of light on the passage of time. The result? A masterpiece for the ages.
The materials
THE ELEMENTS, AWAKENED
With the Droplet, the classic pocketwatch has been entirely reimagined. Inspired by the fluidity of water, the design embodies rounded elegance and transparent clarity. The Droplet’s bold construction features a titanium case, sapphire crystal and rubber bumpers, paired with a distinctive rounded drop shape and unparalleled complexity. Two titanium chains allow for flexible wearability, while a 10-day power reserve allows for ultimate freedom of movement. It all combines to make a groundbreaking timepiece is so different, so unique, that it can only be Hublot.
