Lot Essay

IKEPOD
Co-founded in 1994 by Oliver Ike and Marc Newson, considered one of the most influential designers of his generation, the design-focused IKEPOD independent brand has achieved a cult status over the years with followers appreciating the brand’s avant-garde almost ‘other worldly’ aesthetic. IKEPOD set several trends in watchmaking by boldly increasing watch size and promoting craftsmanship and launching limited editions with well-known artists including Jeff Koons. From 1997, with the introduction of the ‘Hemipode’ model, IKEPOD watches have generally been defined by their spaceship case shape, circular with smooth edges and instead of the usual lugs, the strap is inserted into the Pod. Mark Newson’s stellar design career which includes the iconic ‘Lockheed Lounge Chair’ and his close involvement in the design of the Apple Watch after his departure from IKEPOD in 2008 have ensured that his watch designs for IKEPOD are now becoming ever more appreciated as classics by art and design collectors who recognize Newson’s importance and pervading influence upon many aspects of contemporary style.
The IKEPOD name was held in abeyance from 2012 until it’s relaunch at Baselworld in 2018 by Christian-Louis Col. The company prides itself on its Mark Newson heritage and continues to hold a unique position in the worlds of watchmaking and contemporary art.
