The Ikepod M106 MATTI, a retro-vintage UFO

This watch is immediately distinguished by its case in the shape of a flying saucer (which recalls this classic aspect of UFOs as "revealed" by Georges Adamski at the end of the 40s) characterized by the absence of horns to attach the bracelet. This is the reference design of the Ikepod brand. POD, which was the original brand, had released its famous SEASLUG model, designed by Marc NEWSON, in 1986. The brand later evolved into "Ikepod" in 1994. Currently sold at the price of €1140 including tax, this new watch measures 46mm in diameter and 17mm thick. The absence of horns makes it easily accessible to average-sized wrists. It is equipped with a Miyota 9039 and is 5 ATM. The hands are lightly coated with Super-Luminova and the glass is made of anti-reflective sapphire. I particularly like this steel case that seems to have been made in a single block, with its horizontal brushing. Its dial is brushed radially, creating a beautiful "sunburst" effect, and the indexes appearing on the flange are engraved in the mass. Its unique organic shape makes it a contemporary work of art with a refined design. The silicon strap is harmonious, and very comfortable. An original "dress watch" that I wear occasionally but which always causes a sensation.
