The Ikepod Watch Company is a new Swiss wrist-watch company committed to advanced design and manufacturing values. Founded in 1994, Ikepod combines innovative and enduring design concepts with a traditionally Swiss adherence to technically advanced mechanisms.
Ikepod specialises in the production of mechanical wrist-watches in limited editions, which are all part of the POD brand developed in conjunction with Marc Newson, one of world’s leading designers, who designs watch collections exclusively for the company.
Ikepod represents a new chapter in design for industry in the highly specialist field of watch design, one centred around the unique collaboration between an innovative Swiss manufacturer and leading edge Australian designer Marc Newson. Combining Ike — the surname of the entrepreneur- with Pod, the name of Newson’s successful limited edition furniture company, the new Ikepod brand is a formidable force fuelled by strong concepts, a love of innovative values in design products and a perceptive global design awareness.
Ikepod has swiftly created a major impact within the watch business and amongst design-conscious consumers. It promotes a new design consciousness in the fast moving world of timepieces without sacrificing traditional technical standards, both of which have quickly lent it wide recognition and respect.
Ikepod is committed to meeting the highest standards in the selection and level of innovation of the mechanical movements for its products, chosen to guarantee the maximum effectiveness in performance. By choosing movements like the split-second with fly-back hand, the company joins the top rank of advanced chronograph manufacturers world wide.
The originality of Ikepod’s products, which are exclusively Swiss in manufacture, breathes new life into the universally respected label Swiss Made. Furthermore, unlike those of many other renowned manufacturers, Ikepod is proud to state that its watches are produced and assembled entirely in Switzerland.
