The Ikepod Megapod Walter Hour Glass belongs firmly in the latter camp, taking one of the coolest objects from Marc Newson’s original Ikepod universe and putting it back on the wrist in miniature.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDesigned by Alexandre Peraldi, the Walter was part of Ikepod’s farewell to the Megapod, a limited series of just 100 watches, each with seven different dial variations. Of those, only 20 examples of the white-dial Walter were produced, making this one of the scarcer iterations of the final collection.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe star is that unmistakable bright-orange central seconds hand, shaped like an hourglass and completing one rotation every 60 seconds. Peraldi conceived the idea as a tribute to the extraordinary freestanding Ikepod Hourglass originally designed by Marc Newson. Here, its silhouette becomes a functional component, sweeping continuously across a stark white dial with minimalist black markings. It’s witty, graphic, and unmistakably Ikepod.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe case is equally distinctive: 46mm of brushed stainless steel formed into Ikepod’s familiar lugless, pebble-shaped UFO. Despite the imposing measurement, its lack of conventional lugs makes it wear considerably smaller. A dramatically domed sapphire crystal continues the sculptural profile, while the integrated black silicone strap keeps everything looking suitably futuristic.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInside is the automatic Miyota 9039, beating at 28,800 vph and providing approximately 42 hours of power reserve, visible through a sapphire display back.

With only 20 made, it’s not just quirky.

Beginning in the 1980s, the Spationaute line was developed in connection with France’s space program, resulting in watches worn by French astronauts on a number of missions. By the late 1990s, that relationship had produced the Spationaute ISS 5, a distinctly period take on the astronaut’s watch that combines analog timekeeping, a digital display, and a navigational bezel in one wonderfully technical package.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis example, Reference L5 006 6, dates to the era of the 1998 Pégase mission. Its deep blue dial is packed with information without losing its strong graphic character, featuring large luminous hour markers, central analog hands, multiple scales, and an LCD display positioned at 6 o’clock. Surrounding everything is a rotating compass bezel graduated in degrees and marked with the four cardinal directions. The combination of blue, white, yellow, and flashes of red gives the watch the unmistakable aesthetic of late-20th-century aerospace equipment.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInside is a Seiko-sourced quartz movement providing its dual analog-digital display, while the case is rated to 100 meters of water resistance.
