Daniel Arsham and Hublot Unveil Arsham Droplet Pocket Watch

artist · 2026-04-22

Artist Daniel Arsham has collaborated with Swiss watchmaker Hublot to create the Arsham Droplet, a multifunctional pocket watch that also serves as a necklace and sculptural centerpiece. The timepiece is made from titanium, rubber, and sapphire crystal, featuring the Hublot Meca-10 manufacture movement with a 10-day power reserve and water resistance up to 30 meters. Only 99 examples will be produced. The design incorporates Arsham's signature green rubber and monogram, with a titanium case reminiscent of lace. The pocket watch format reflects Arsham's nostalgic themes, while the collaboration builds on Hublot's 'Art of Fusion' concept. Arsham has previously worked with Hedi Slimane, Kim Jones, Porsche, and Pokémon. His exhibition 'Relics of the Landscape' is on view at Yorkshire Sculpture Park until 30 March 2025.
