ISSEY MIYAKE OVO is a watch named "egg."
Its particularly smooth body shape was designed to evoke the image of being made of liquid metal. The small metal globe symbolizes the source of life. Slowly germinating on one's wrist, it extends fluid metal legs in all directions, eventually melding with its host, and the two grow symbiotically. At the core of this wristwatch are two highly distinctive hands that extend from the periphery towards the center. Designed with an imagery reminiscent of genes hidden within a cell's nucleus, they gently convey the passage of time in one's life.
