Perpétuel’s collaboration with Underd0g is a playful take on horology, and yet every detail, texture, material, finishing and colour of the watches has been meticulously thought through
Current-day machining techniques have been used to emulate a mid-century vintage silhouette, while integrating a refreshingly modern dial. The vibrant dégradé top-dial features two vari-sized sub-dials offset by the branding and movement details, which allows the chronograph seconds hand to pass through uninterrupted. Each edition is limited to 50 pieces.
The Watermelon edition has a tasteful dial of saturated pink complemented by a green gradient, with seeds for indices.
The Mint Chocolate edition, inspired by the English ice cream flavour, sports a flavoury dial with chocolate chips and degraded mint green.
The Desert sky edition is quite a special homage watch with its colourful pallet that has been crafted after a favourite pair of sneakers.
The Go0fy Panda Edition houses a faded white, gray dial and a bright shade of spring green that mimics the colour of bamboo — a panda’s favourite meal.
Studio Underd0g watches are assembled in Great Britain and come on a handmade Epsom calfskin strap courtesy of The Strap Tailor. The chronograph houses the mechanical hand-winding ST-1901 movement – which started life as a Swiss Venus Cal.175 – has a rich history.
Each watch is inspected in the UK prior to shipping. The process includes demagnetisation, accuracy / rate review (3 positions) and regulation wherever necessary. A report card is included with every watch.
