I haven’t figured it out yet either.
But looks really cool! I’ve never heard of kaws but don’t care. I never heard of Alix or whatever and thought those pieces were pretty sweet too.

The little arrows around the inner bezel tell the time

I think they did a great job on the design. Love the way the time is displayed and the bezel screws.

The hour and minute hands rotate around the periphery of the movement and dial, thanks to two visible, superimposed gear wheels driven by pinions and guided by rollers.

From AP’s website

So, yes it does tell time, smarty pants

For a 200K whimsically designed concept watch that I have bright we the cash or wrist to pull off…… it’s fantastic.
Love the new handset design that dosnt clash with the interior art,
Love the case shape and finishing for a watch that big, and really like the humor of the Kaws figure pressing up against the glass.

While the colab is front and center it’s well executed in AP design language and the color or finishing all comes together nicely IMO.

I’ve read loads of hate but this is my favorite colab piece to date ….. and AP took some chances which I can appreciate

I guess I’m in the minority

Not a fan at all, they need to make a concept for people with normal, non Hulk size wrists. The amount of LEs AP is pumping out is becoming quite absurd and starting to lose their allure. We are one more LE away from becoming Hublot :/

Dude this is outstanding. And as somebody else mentioned - reminiscent of the RM 88 Smiley.

Not for everyone but definitely for KAWS collectors - digging these APxArt collaborations
